No, not at all. DMARC was designed and implemented by a small closed group of large companies listed on the DMARC web site at http://www.dmarc.org/about.html It had been running for about two years at various ISPs with little trouble until AOL and Yahoo jumped the shark last month. There are free libraries which work pretty well, and I've been collecting DMARC reports on my various domains since Feb 2012 (but not, of course, paying attention to anyone's published policies on inbound mail.) The DMARC group has asked the RFC Editor to publish the spec as a non-standards-track non-IETF independent submission. There was briefly talk of making it standards track until the DMARC group realized that gave the IETF change control, and we likely would change it, which they didn't want. The RFC Editor is currently thinking about it, and probably will publish on the theory that even if it's a bad idea, it might as well be documented. R's, John PS: This is first hand. I know the people involved. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
