Abstract:
DMARC introduces a mechanism for expressing domain-level policies and
preferences for email message validation, disposition, and reporting.
The DMARC mechanism can encounter interoperability issues when
messages do not flow directly from the author's administrative domain
to the final recipients. Collectively these email flows are referred
to as indirect email flows. This document describes interoperability
issues between DMARC and indirect email flows. Possible methods for
addressing interoperability issues are presented.
I've reviewed version -05 and have only one comment (about text which is
not new in this version). I think par. 3.2.5 - Boundary Filters should
be removed from this document. After all, SPF, DKIM and DMARC have
always been positioned as 'edge' technologies, where (primarily) the
edge MTA's of both author administrative domain and final recipients
administrative domain provide authententication, validation and
disposition. So although all of par. 3.2.5 is true, IMHO it does not
belong in a document with title 'Interoperability Issues Between DMARC
and _Indirect_ Email Flows'. As an alternative we could change the scope
of the entire document, by leaving par. 3.2.5 where it is now, changing
the title of the document to 'Interoperability Issues when using DMARC'
and re-think the use of the word 'indirect' throughout the document
(some 12 places in the text).
It may be better to move section 3.2.5 to some future to be written BCP
about the use of DMARC (and SPF and DKIM) in general.
