My memory of the effect of the policy "p=quarantine; pct=0" vis-a-vis how Google handles a domain's mail was faulty. I remember when working to implement DMARC at $JOB[-1] for our corporate domain, I was seeing data in the agg reports from Google when we were at p=none that led me to ask "WTF are those hosts?" and digging around the various corners of the internet unearthed the unknown at the time to me fix of "Yeah, you gotta be at p=quarantine; pct=0" to get reports from Google that make sense. There are several years old threads on mailop that speak to this topic, with outsiders asserting that what is in fact happening is Google Groups is rewriting the From when it's p=quarantine; pct=0, and Brandon Long from Google in the thread doesn't challenge that assertion, so I'll remove reference to the reporting alteration. -- *Todd Herr* | Technical Director, Standards and Ecosystem *e:* todd.h...@valimail.com *m:* 703.220.4153 This email and all data transmitted with it contains confidential and/or proprietary information intended solely for the use of individual(s) authorized to receive it.
