Some may understand. I recall when it was rather common to see addresses like, say, bl...@nospamgoogle.com, supposedly obvious to human subscribers. As email authentication took on, tools tended to disallow such kind of free editing of From: (a trend that possibly impacted negatively on posters' ability to understand email mechanisms.) Now, servers should supply something else to provide a similar grade of privacy to mailing list subscribers. The address blong=40google....@dmarc.ietf.org (to which I'm writing) results in a similar soft concealing as the former example. However, the X-Original-From betrays such purpose. > That's definitely true, and an interesting question as to whether Groups > should always rewrite. Yes, and I bet there are various other interesting questions as well. rfc7960 quickly covers the whole topic in the first bullet of Section 4.1.3.3. And, as an informative rfc, it makes no recommendations. This WG can do better than that.
