The different bits in the message are simple enough. The problem is that it might as well be called Really-From, and then when enough systems do mutant DMARC to cause the same problems with Really-From that we have with From, the step after that is Really-Really-From, so on ad nauseam. While that happens (or maybe doesn't) we have no idea whether MUAs will display it or let you enter it or automatically make it the same as From or maybe something else, likely making it a disaster for interoperability. I think the DMARC sender draft is a lot more promising. R's, John _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
