Hi Florian, I'm not sure if I got it right. T-Online renders the use of DMARC useless? By inventing its own version of it, and *forcing* me to sign my messages? (I'm doing so, and I'm using DMARC, but I do it voluntarily, and I expect the recipient honouring my p=reject policy.)
I do not understand the benefit on your side. Spammers are able to sign their messages correctly, so you won't block lots of spammers. If you are afraid that spammers can impersonate as me, you could use my published DMARC record and honour my DMARC policy. That's how I understood DMARC. Of course, you can do whatever you want on the receiving side, but as T-Online is still kind of a major ESP, I think, you should act responsible, by *supporting* existing standards, not by inventing new ones and forcing smaller ESPs to follow *your* imagination of email delivery. Somehow it reminds me of "Email Made in Germany" as an attempt to create a German version of DANE. Now the same, but with DMARC? Does T-Online suffer the NIH syndrome? Still I hope that I somehow got it wrong and all that is a terrible misinterpretation on my side.
