[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; r

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 mak

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, 2019,

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 1

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 very

Somebody determined along the way that the default minOccurs in this XML is 1. On the other hand, does occur -- the question is whether it is syntactically valid for it to be null, which, as far as I can tell, it is not (it's an enumeration of strings). As Roland points out, that leaves the que

+1. The only uptake we've noticed is from people who complain that the name returns a non-TXT non-fail for yahoo.com (which the standard says is a legitimate case meaning "there is no ADSP record here, move on"). So uptake looks both minimal and buggy. Elizabeth From: Krish Vitaldevara mailto:
