Message Header Field for Indicating Message Authentication Status
RFC 7601, “Message Header Field for Indicating Message Authentication Status”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2015 by M. Kucherawy. It obsoletes RFC 7001, RFC 7410. It has been obsoleted by RFC 8601 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document specifies a message header field called Authentication- Results for use with electronic mail messages to indicate the results of message authentication efforts. Any receiver-side software, such as mail filters or Mail User Agents (MUAs), can use this header field to relay that information in a convenient and meaningful way to users or to make sorting and filtering decisions.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
