Ad hominem dismissal of things that you disagree with as "crazy talk" is not an effective form of technical argument. Care to try again. Scott K On November 1, 2021 1:29:19 AM UTC, Douglas Foster wrote: >To my mind, it is crazy talk to assert that DMARC is not an authentication >method. >

Currently, the Publicssuffix.org list protects the PSL names. Although I don't believe it is covered anywhere in the DMARC v1 document, any DMARC implementer will have to notice that a PSL name must produce DMARC FAIL, because it cannot be authenticated itself, and it cannot be authenticated by

To my mind, it is crazy talk to assert that DMARC is not an authentication method. My bank's phone app gives me the option of authenticating with either a username+password or a fingerprint. For remote access to work computers, I use two authentication methods together. Using two component

Perhaps it's a pointless semantic distinction. I think of DMARC as a mechanism for expressing policy about authentication, not an authentication method. I still don't understand what you think is unprotected. Scott K On October 31, 2021 4:48:10 PM UTC, Douglas Foster wrote: >DMARC is an

John said I don't immediately see the utility of the org domain of the HELO unless you're checking SPF on a bounce, but why wouldn't you do the same tree walk? Apparently he has never evaluated the reputation of server organizations by aggregating data based on server organization. It is a

DMARC is an authentication test also. The authentication of the first identifier (SPF or DKIM) serves as a proxy to authenticate the second identifer (FROM), which is conditioned on a satisfactory relationship (equal or aligned) between the two domains. You began to address the issue in your

Neither SPF nor DKIM use the PSL, so I still don't understand. What do you mean by "authentication testing"? Scott K On October 31, 2021 11:30:29 AM UTC, Douglas Foster wrote: >We have two issues floating here: >1) For policy lookup, replace the PSL with a constrained tree walk. >2) For

We have two issues floating here: 1) For policy lookup, replace the PSL with a constrained tree walk. 2) For authentication testing, replace the PSL with something based on the policy lookup. Currently, the DMARC policy has nothing to do with the authentication test. If the second idea is still
