(as participant) Yes, that's clearly a broken implementation.
I imagine the DMARC document could say it relies on proper implementations of 8020, but improper ones are known to be in the wild, and results are unpredictable when these are encountered. Given the IETF is a standards organization, one could also argue that this is redundant or superfluous, but it's probably also harmless. -MSK On Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 2:37 PM Douglas Foster < dougfoster.emailstanda...@gmail.com> wrote: > My testing was done more than a year ago.
