Re: [dmarc-ietf] Using ARC to override DMARC FAIL

2022-09-19 Thread Ken O'Driscoll
Do you trust the ARC signer is the only appropriate policy test. Everything else, including your "wanted and valued sender" test is a value judgement for a message filter, not an ARC evaluation. If you trust the ARC signer of a message, then you trust their assertion as to the authentication

The IETF have no control over how third parties choose to implement RFCs. If a vendor chooses not to implement a particular RFC because of its status, and that choice results in an interoperability issue, then that discussion is between the vendor and their customers - the IETF have no part to

Bis means "again", in this case it refers to the next iteration of the DMARC specification. It's an IETF naming convention, nothing to do with DMARC or the working group specifically. Ken. > -Original Message- > From: dmarc On Behalf Of Damian Lukowski > Sent: Monday 20 June 2022

2022-02-11 Thread Ken O'Driscoll
No. “?all” in an SPF record is a negative signal to many filters and a quick way to the spam folder. It also exposes the domain to abuse unconnected with DMARC. If a sender intentionally relies on DKIM-only alignment, then that’s their decision. Making any recommendations as to what their SPF

Organisations using DKIM-only (also SFP-only) with an enforcing DMARC policy are more common than you may think. While some configurations are perhaps in error, many I have encountered are deliberate decisions based on specific use cases. For example, I have a finance house that uses

I think this is a bad idea as it adds unnecessary additional complexity. Currently, a domain owner can choose to only implement DKIM or SPF on a mail stream if they only wish one mechanism to be evaluated. Further, if there is a (renewed?) desire to apply a policy layer to DKIM signed

Hi Charles, DMARC is intended to prevent unauthorised use a domain name in the 5322.From header. This header was chosen because it is displayed in MUAs and is the target of spoofing attempts in phishing campaigns. I agree that there is some ambiguity in the original RFC but the intention is
