Hello,

DMARC aggregate reports can and do cause endless loops, too:

A site publishes an email address for receiving aggregate DMARC reports. The rua-address bounces the messages (aggregate report) received there and the bounces does not validate the DMARC policy. So on the next reporting period a new aggregate report is sent, stating that the reply on the previous report failed DMARC validation.

Unlike endless email loops caused by message-specific failure reports, the endless email loops caused by aggregate reports are by design rate-limited: one email per reported domain and reporting period. A wait to reduce the possibility into getting in such loops is toT send the reports FROM:<>.

That said I propose recommending in DMARC, that both the message-specific reports and the aggregate reports are sent FROM:<> or NOTIFY=NEVER.

Shall I submit an erratum to RFC7489?

Regards
  Дилян
