Please see my previous comment about trying to enumerate every dumb thing people might do. I very strenuously do not want us trying to guess how ESPs think nor offering them advice beyond the interop advice we offer everyone else. In this specific case, if the company publishes p=reject, and they hire an ESP, and the company is too inept to figure out how to let the ESP send aligned mail, well, yeah, then the company's actual policy is clearly not their published policy, and the ESP can do whatever it wants. So let's not go there. R's, John _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
