Pared down from a collection of notes that I mainly made for myself while coding against stuff in the last several iterations of dmarcbis. Mostly these are the trivial ones.
========== 4.5 Similarly, a Mail Receiver (#mail-receiver) wishing to find the DMARC Policy Record... This isn't really similar. It's more complementary -- publishing a record vs looking one up. Remove "Similarly" and it makes more sense. ========== 4.5 a TXT record can comprise multiple "character-string" objects, each with the same name. Not really "with the same name" -- they are in the same record attached to the name. I think saying they have the same name is redundant. "each being a component of the text" or something. ========== 4.5 A Domain Owner can choose not to have some underlying authentication mechanisms apply to DMARC evaluation of its Author Domain(s). For example, if a Domain Owner only wants to use DKIM as the underlying authentication mechanism, then the Domain Owner does not publish an SPF record that can produce Identifier Alignment between an SPF- Authenticated Identifier and the Author Domain. Alternatively, if the Domain Owner wishes to rely solely on SPF, then it can send email messages that have no DKIM-Signature header field that would produce Identifier Alignment between a DKIM-Authenticated Identifier and the Author Domain. No real problem, but mainly I find it interesting that here we have a whole paragraph talking about this, but also A.2 talking about how there is a lack of need for it. ========== 4.10.2 Says there's no need to do a Tree Walk if there is no DMARC policy found for the Author Domain. How would you discover the policy that contains e.g. a "sp" clause covering this author domain? I'm not saying there's an error here, just that I don't get it. ========== B.2.4 trivial: the example zonefile entry probably needs a space after "example.net;" (before "t=y") -mm- (who might prefer to spell DMARC with a K) _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
