[dmarc-ietf] Treewalk causing changes

2023-02-23 Thread Elizabeth Zwicky
I haven’t done extensive research but here is a live example where treewalk will cause a result change. From: is in the domain Ret.bmcc.cuny.edu which has no DMARC record. _dmarc.bmcc.cuny.edu.300INTXT"v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; fo=1; rua=mailto:dmarc_...@emaildefense.proofpoint.com;

Re: [dmarc-ietf] What bad stuff can a broken DMARC record cause?

2022-04-24 Thread Elizabeth Zwicky
Lots of people have wildcard TXT records which mean that if you look up a DMARC record you get an SPF record. They get the delivery they’d get with no DMARC record on the systems I know about and it doesn’t seem to annoy them enough to make them stop, which is reasonable evidence it doesn’t

The problem with that language is that > o The identifier evaluated by DKIM and the DKIM result, if any is genuinely unclear. Often there are multiple identifiers. Does this mean I can pick any one of them? (That does not actually provide sufficient interoperability.) If there’s a specific

I believe they MUST contain any aligned DKIM signature regardless of validity and SHOULD contain an entry for each domain, selector, result triple. Elizabeth > On Jun 21, 2019, at 11:46 AM, John Levine wrote: > > In article <7cd366d2-ab8d-cce8-67ff-59b79183c...@tomki.com> you write: >>

RFC 7960 has an extensive discussion of mail flows that modify mail (as well as other cases that are problematic for DMARC). Mailing lists are not the only case, and, as John has pointed out, reformatting and part stripping are things that happen in mail flows. Elizabeth > On May 31,

I’m not sure you realize that spam authenticates at a higher rate than good mail. This isn’t a bad thing — it helps in blocking — but it means that authentication is nearly orthogonal to spam filtering in large systems. Elizabeth > On Mar 22, 2019, at 8:10 AM, Douglas E. Foster > wrote: >

Rows are defined by IP; if the same IP uses multiple MAILFROM and SPF is bounded what is the reporter supposed to do? Duplicate rows? Limiting SPF changes the row key in bad ways. (Unless all senders are well-behaved in ways they are not required to be.) Elizabeth zwi...@otoh.org > On Mar

OK, so I've dived into Yahoo's incoming metadata to look at what fails DMARC and why. Conclusion 1: I cannot automatically tell the cases apart with any accuracy. Hand coding them is so time-consuming as to be beyond my ability to do at scale. So, not many numbers, but I have developed some

. Is this a practical concern, though? The levels of spam etc that drove Yahoo! and AOL to p=reject were *huge*, and have persisted (according to Elizabeth Zwicky of Yahoo!) for several weeks after imposition of p=reject. The retail spams you describe are still going to have to run the obstacle course
