Unfortunately, much of the world outside IETF sees an RFC number and assumes Standards Track. We have RFC 7489, which is Informational, which then resulted in a mandate [1] for all executive-branch US Government domains to publish p=reject. I have to believe that they thought it was Standards Track when they did this. -Jim [1] https://cyber.dhs.gov/assets/report/bod-18-01.pdf _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
