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.

1. I don't understand the details you have in mind that would make this useful.

2. Again, this seems to defeat the purpose of having the Author field.



(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?)

My understanding is that DMARC does not work for From: fields with multiple domain names. In that regard, that's another change to the From: field that DMARC imposes.



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.

It will probably help for you to supply detailed specification of the changes to DMARC's reporting, so people can assess its likely costs and benefits more concretely.
