Interoperatabiliy and functionality is what a standards body is for. DMARC is a system that allows 1st parties to announce to 3rd parties what to do with something delivered by a 2nd party, all without any standards or feedback/care for the 2nd party. It sits atop 2 standards that were never intended for the purpose (rfc5322.From blocking) they are being used for. -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
