The #2 option (backward compatible with new auth tag) is a good clarification what we were thinking and that Wei mentioned here: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dmarc/KeGbMfX91WJk_aziKsrRfI6AYkI/ I don't know if there is a better way to encode that, but I'm supportive of making a change

Colleagues, We looked at data covering a time period of several months and more than a quarter of a trillion DMARC pass results to get a sense for the impact of what a change to DKIM-only might mean for DMARC. Here's what we found. - 3.65% of all DMARC passes recorded had only an aligned SPF

How about this! p=none or quarantine trusts SPF and DKIM, but p=reject trusts DKIM only. This option addresses Google's desire for a strict rule to protect the most aggressively attacked domains, while leaving flexibility for those who want it. DF On Thu, Jun 22, 2023, 9:55 AM Scott Kitterman

My conclusion (it won't surprise you to learn) from this thread is precisely the opposite. In theory, DKIM is enough for DMARC (this was always true), but in practice it is not. I don't think there's evidence of a systemic weakness in the protocol. We've seen evidence of poor deployment of

It's not easy to set a DKIM key, I can agree with that. I do think, Marty should have tested before sending, though. None of this, however, solves the issue of SPF weakening the DMARC standard. The weakness in SPF is not incidental, but systematic. That is - independent of the numbers - the

Right, but the messages often get sent anyway. So the evaluator who blocks the message as malicious impersonation is blocking incorrectly because the fail result is unreliable. If it only affects nuisance advertising, the error may not matter to the evaluator. But I think the problem affects

In a perfect world, we would have a two-tailed test, where PASS really means "no malicious impersonation" and "FAIL" really means "malicious impersonation". Absent that ideal, we can try for a one-tailed test, either "FAIL" means "malicious interpretation" but "PASS" only means "uncertain", or
