If receivers lookup the Author: domain too, they can evaluate authentication and alignment also with respect to that domain.


Since there is no authentication or alignment associated with the Author field, I don't know how they can be evaluated.


Receivers can evaluate the Author: domain just like they would do if it were the From: domain.

So you want to define DMARC as applying to both the From: field and the Author: field?  That will defeat the benefit intended for the Author: field.


Yes. In case of conflict, evaluation of Author: has to be omitted. For example, Author: fields containing multiple mailboxes are not considered.

(OT-BTW, DMARC spec will have to consider From: fields with multiple mailboxes, since they're allowed by RFC 5322. Should Sender:, in such cases, have a domain aligned with one of those?)


As a new field, Author: doesn't wear a reliable-id trophy, hence receivers may refrain to apply policy dispositions.  However, the result of the evaluation, conveyed through aggregate report, can tell MLMs if rewriting From: was necessary.

How, exactly?


Author: and Sender: domains can be included in aggregate reports along with the From: one. The policy_evaluated can also include more items, specifying which evaluations pass or fail.
