Hi Kathleen, sorry for the delay replying to this. It seems to me that, as you suggested, your options are:
1) As I read RFC5901, it's a set of XML tags used to extract specific pieces of message data or meta-data and include them in an IODEF report. You could simply add some DKIM and SPF fields as well. Keep in mind that SPF applies once per message (because there's always exactly one envelope) but any number of DKIM results (including zero) can be present. There's also some religion around whether a failed DKIM signature is even worth reporting, but we can get into that separately if needed. 2) RFC5901 also adds the capability to include a complete email message in the report payload. This could be an ARF message (using the SPF and DKIM extensions), which itself can contain the original. I would suggest going with (1) personally; it's more work procedurally, but the result is cleaner. With (2) you're able to capitalize on what MARF did, but the receiver has to know that the payload message is actually an abuse report that contains part or all of the problem message, and is not itself the problem message. Let me know if you'd like more detail on any of that. -MSK On Thu, Feb 21, 2013 at 2:19 AM, Moriarty, Kathleen < [email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > Cross posting with MAIL and MARF - > > In MILE related work, I have come across use cases that would like to > include DKIM and SPF information in addition to specific mail fields (like > the ones Chris lists below).
