Going from the list provided at: https://www.isipp.com/blog/validity-fbl-charging-how-much-cost/ The only one that I really get any feedback from is Comcast, maybe Synacor. And those are few and far between. What's going to be the incentive to pay for these ARF reports? Sure, other people may

ARC trust is not just a binary. There are also ways that the ARC headers can be used even if the ARC sealer is not 100% trusted. In this case, adding ARC headers would help solve this particular issue (assuming the original message was authenticated with at least one of SPF or DKIM). You can see G

I think that’s the point, mostly all of them used to allow direct setup but don’t anymore (when universal fbl became widespread). Seznam is one of 20+. Now that you have to pay for it maybe more vendors will start allowing direct setup again? That’s what I’m wondering about. I guess we will see.

Hi Emanuel, Thanks very much for the suggestion. ARC would seem to offer exactly what we need for this scenario, but I wasn’t sure of the level of trust the major providers place in it at this point. Some Microsoft documentation (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-defender-for-o

SRS is usually fairly trivial these days, but DMARC changes things. While SRS is doing fine for our users when forwarding email to Gmail, when auth fails and DMARC = reject Google will tell you pretty plainly that they're probably not going to accept it: https://support.google.com/mail/answe

Hi Jason, One additional thing worth investigating is adding ARC headers for the forwarding cases. That has the potential to help with both downstream DMARC evaluation as well as unauthenticated bounces. This is particularly important if the DKIM signature is breaking or wasn't present in the firs
