Re: [dmarc-discuss] ARC adoption

ARC directly addresses (2). Unlike the measures for interoperating

impede or alter the traditional operation of mailing lists.  
Consequently: if list operators perceive benefit in implementing  
ARC, then they're free to do so without having to incur additional  
operational problems, in particular without changing user experience.

problem that ARC addresses there is no reason for them to implement  
ARC, and it doesn't matter to anyone else if they don't.


Hello all,

thanks for your responses.

to repeat with my words:
ARC is an offer to Intermediaries which does even not require to  
change any semantics.

And for that reason there is chance for adoption.

hope I understood it correct ...

No. ARC seeks to construct a situation in which forwarders and receivers will 
each gain incremental benefit if they choose to implement; it neither requires 
nor assumes implementation by any particular participant.

List operators typically cite two compelling reasons for not making changes to 
support pre-ARC schemes:

1) the assumption that they're being asked to expend resources to solve someone

imposes harmful dilemmas (each option, including do nothing, is harmful).

Well put, Roland. I was so concerned with addressing the frequently 
asked question of "why will people upgrade" that I overlooked other 
considerations in my earlier response.
