If you can filter basing on a reliable reputation system, current ARC seals are
enough already, aren't they?

Not quite, because they're not usually applied when a message is forwarded intact. One outcome of the proposed WG might be to specifically encourage all MLMs to ARC-sign, even if they don't break the author's DKIM signature, in this case to facilitate path reasoning in addition to coping with DKIM-breakage.


Right. It'd be enough to require SPF pass of the last element of the chain, besides AMS verification. That proves the ARC chain itself is not being replayed. To me, it doesn't sound as an exaggerate requirement.


(I forget the IETF language for this, but there's a distinction between documents which specify protocols and documents which provide guidance on their use.)


Application Statement?
