Interoperability Issues between Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance and Indirect Email Flows
RFC 7960, “Interoperability Issues between Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance and Indirect Email Flows”, is an Informational document published in September 2016 by F. Martin, E. Lear, T. Draegen, E. Zwicky, K. Andersen. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) introduces a mechanism for expressing domain-level policies and preferences for email message validation, disposition, and reporting. However, the DMARC mechanism enables potentially disruptive interoperability issues when messages do not flow directly from the author's administrative domain to the final Recipients. Collectively, these email flows are referred to as "indirect email flows". This document describes these interoperability issues and presents possible methods for addressing them.
