Dear Authors and DMARC group,

In my continuing review of errata posted against RFC 7489, my view is that the following erratum should be rejected, and I intend to do so in the next month unless given good cause not to do so.  My reading is that the reporter has quoted from the wrong section of RFC 5321, and that we are not discussion Message Submission Servers.

Section 10.3. says:

Everything about it..

Notes:

DMARC relies on inspecting header information. This section suggestion is not allowed by rfc5321 and contradicts it:

...a relay SMTP has no need to inspect or
act upon the header section or body of the message data and MUST NOT
do so except to add its own "Received:" header field..

So the correct behaviour shoud be only the second option - 2xy and decide what to do after that being silent or not.
