Technical Summary
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance
(DMARC) is a mechanism by which a Domain Owner can request feedback
about email messages using their domain in the From: address field.
This document describes "failure reports," or "failed message
reports", which provide details about individual messages that failed
to authenticate according to the DMARC mechanism.
Working Group Summary
The DMARC working group has suffered from lack of progress for many
years. After the group delivered on two milestones, it was shuttered
without the realization that there was a dependency on this document.
Once rechartered, the group had to find consensus about proceeding
with this document. The decision was made to proceed.
Document Quality
Implementations exist. OpenDKIM is one of them; the rest are commercial.
There were no substantial changes to the document following
Last Call review.
Personnel
The Document Shepherd for this document is Murray Kucherawy. The
Responsible Area Director is Andy Newton.
IANA Note
The sole IANA action requested is trivial and appears to be well formed.
