If a mailing list can perform 100% sender authentication, it makes sense to delegate that responsibility to the list -- giving it the same treatment as I am currently giving to the best-known ESPs.Getting there requires a list that: - wants one of my users as a subscriber, - can perform 100%

Yes, a message can be malicious or unwanted, with or without correct identification. But the two ARE correlated, not independent. Correct identity allows correct attribution of sender reputation. Successful impersonation allows an attacker to obtain more favorable treatment from both the

Perhaps you can clarify what you think DMARC is. Apparently a significant number of evaluators think that "DMARC Fail with p=reject always means unwanted mail". Or to use Michael Hammer's language, "DMARC Fail with p=reject means the domain owner wants it rejected so I will reject it."These
