Does anyone blindly trust ARC signatures from random domains?

I find it a huge difference between DKIM signatures (I sign this mail 
being from my domain) and ARC signature (I sign that this mail was 
received from whitehouse.gov properly verified and signed).


We don't blindly trust DKIM signatures either.  DKIM is only one signal.

In practice, in 2024, forwarding predominantly happens on the final hop 
before the mailbox.  The mailbox provider can see that their users x, y, 
and z are receiving a lot of email addressed to 
{x,y,z}@alumni.example.edu, all of it with valid ARC signatures from 
alumni.example.edu.  Given an appropriate sample size, those signatures 
begin to become trustworthy.


Mailbox providers can also provide a user interface for marking ARC 
domains as trustworthy.  Similar to how some mailbox providers allow 
users to allowlist their forwarders for SPF checks.


Of course, the largest mailbox providers will continue to feed the 
signal into their opaque reputation machinery, so it's anyone's guess 
what will happen there.

we don't, but we can at least verify it and look up the domain reputation.


A credible ARC tells you a lot more than a credible SRS.


That's the point: a credible. Without trusting ARC, you know nothing.
Without trusting SPF domain, you know at least something.


To return to the oriignal question, I'd put a DMARC p=none on any domain
that sends mail with an rua= so you can collect stats and see where your
mail is going.


To answer the first reply, I recommend not to skip SRS and make it work.

Ahoj,

How one can trust that, if one don't know how (or if at all) original
was checked? If i will blindly trust to that, i don't need to check SPF,
DKIM, DMARC nor ARC at all and save world...

Yes, DKIM is slightly more reliable, as one sign own mails, ARC signs
others/foreign mails...

The only one, who is worst to trust (for me) am i, or perhaps partially
trust on per-user base, in mean to trust particular ARC signer for
particular recipient (user's own forwarded mails), but my environment
is not prepared to this.

rspamd has allows to define trustworthy ARC signers, but built-in
system is on per ARC's domain only, to get it per user, one have to
develop something own (IMO not as complicated as it can sound, but i
never try that).

regards

Instead, please use *DNSWL* to determine whether the sender is a good
person or a bad person.


But, if an ARC signer is bad person, even the ARC signature can lie about 
original content, and the claimed original sender may be fake (as my example 
down there shows).


So, we need to trust (apply DNSWL) to ARC signer before we can use the ARC 
signature to apply DNWSL on the original sender.


or is there something I misunderstood about ARC?

I find it a huge difference between DKIM signatures (I sign this mail 
being from my domain) and ARC signature (I sign that this mail was 
received from whitehouse.gov properly verified and signed).

They(DKIM/ARC) are not distinguishing whether the sender is a good
