Yes, we can just describe the purpose. E.g., somewhere in Section 6: In the case of reports transmitted automatically, the envelope sender address MAY/SHOULD/MUST be set so that all error messages generated by the final deliveries will be returned to the transmitting entity. Transmission of further reports to a failed address MAY be regulated taking into account previous experience of sending the same kind of report to the same address. For example, if the address was used successfully in the past and retrieved from the DNS, transmission may be paused so as to give the relevant cached RR a chance to expire. In any case, reports transmitted automatically are an email service in the sense of RFC 3834, and those recommendations apply. Do we want to say something like this? _______________________________________________ marf mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/marf
