Interoperability Issues between Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) and Indirect Email Flows
draft-ietf-dmarc-interoperability-18
Technical Summary:
DMARC introduces a mechanism for expressing domain-level policies and
preferences for email message validation, disposition, and reporting.
The DMARC mechanism can encounter interoperability issues when
messages do not flow directly from the author's administrative domain
to the final recipients. Collectively these email flows are referred
to as indirect email flows. This document describes interoperability
issues between DMARC and indirect email flows. Possible methods for
addressing interoperability issues are presented.
