Complaint Feedback Loop Operational Recommendations
Abstract
Complaint Feedback Loops similar to those described herein have
existed for more than a decade, resulting in many de facto standards
and best practices. This document is an attempt to codify, and thus
clarify, the ways that both providers and consumers of these feedback
mechanisms intend to use the feedback, describing some already common
industry practices.
This document is the result of cooperative efforts within the
Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group, a trade organization separate
from the IETF. The original MAAWG document upon which this document
is based was published in April, 2010. This document does not
represent the consensus of the IETF; rather it is being published as
an Informational RFC to make it widely available to the Internet
community and simplify reference to this material from IETF work.
