What does a missing envelope address in the XML reports indicate?
It depends on whether the field is missing entirely, or whether it has an empty value <envelope_from></envelope_from>.
A missing <envelope_from> usually indicates that the reporter uses an old report format and omits reporting the envelope from address. This old format can be recognized by having no <version> field.
An empty <envelope_from></envelope_from> usually indicates a report about a bounce, i.e., a message sent with a null envelope MAIL FROM: <>.
When reviewing the reports there are lot reports that do not include the envelope address, are these an indicator that the emails where forwarded or undeliverable messages?
No. Regards, Matt _______________________________________________ dmarc-discuss mailing list dmarc-discuss@dmarc.org http://www.dmarc.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc-discuss NOTE: Participating in this list means you agree to the DMARC Note Well terms (http://www.dmarc.org/note_well.html)
