ARC-Authentication-Results is already in the development pipeline.

ARC-Authentication-Results is still experimental (IETF Draft). It is used 
by google and AOL (and some less others) in beta state.
The concept looks nice and will (IMHO) work. But there are two problems 
with the ARC chains:

1. the MIME-header may become very long - possibly too long for some MTx
2. because there is no limit for the number of ARC instances in an ARC 
chain, ARC is subject to be abused by attackers to initiate a DDoS

The implementation of the ARC-signature check and the ASSP-ARC-signing 
seems not to be very complex, because ARC is supported in production mode 
by Mail::DKIM version 0.50
But, the still existing assp checks for DKIM, SPF and DMARC are not 
designed to have a valid result before they are called.


Up to the end of this year, the ARC-Authentication-Results feature should 
be implemented in assp (check and signing) - if the global rulers keep 
working on this.

Looks like this will be another great release.  Thank you.

Notes / thoughts:
 
1) I'm really happy to see the addition of  trustedAuthForwarders too.  
With so many users getting mailing list email, this will be a big help for 
those lists that support this.   

Do you think you could do something similary for ARC? (
http://arc-spec.org/)  

Example of Google's version of X-Original-Authentication-Results, using 
ARC instead.  This is from a message that was sent from ourcharity.org to 
a gmail account that was then forwarded back to us.
ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com;
       dkim=pass header.i=@OurCharity.org header.s=assp-01 
header.b=u0J16ajA;
       spf=pass (google.com: domain of m...@ourcharity.org designates 
a.b.c.d as permitted sender) smtp.mailfrom=m...@ourcharity.org;
       dmarc=pass (p=REJECT sp=NONE dis=NONE) header.from=OurCharity.org
There's an ARC-Seal and ARC-Message-Signature which looks a lot like 
DKIM.  Google also has a plain Authentication-Results: line (without the 
ARC prefix), but they do NOT DKIM sign the forwarded message (though they 
do have their non-standard X-Google-DKIM-Signature line)

So far I've only seen this with Google, but they're a major enough player 
that I think this justifies some consideration.  I bet others will follow:

>From the ARC website:
If you are a mailbox provider or intermediary (mailing list operator, 
message forwarder), you should be planning your ARC implementation now 
(first half of 2018). Google has added ARC verification and sealing to 
their email services (Gmail, G Suite, and Google Groups). Several other 
companies will incorporate ARC into their products and services in the 
first half 2018.

2) Nitpicky, at your convenience you might consider changing "privat" to 
"private" (with the e on the end for correct English spelling). 


Thanks for several major advancements in DKIM related functionality in the 
last couple of weeks.  Every little bit makes it harder for spammers and 
fraudsters.

Hi all, 

fixed in assp 2.6.2 *Fortress* build 18094: 

- the scheduled blockreport design was still broken, if no blocked mail 
was found 

- if a very short time range (eg. less than 5 minutes) was defined for a 
statistic graph, an "modulus by 0" exception caused a mainthread crash 


added: 

'trustedAuthForwarders','X-Original-Authentication-Results Trusted 
Forwarder*' 
 If an email contains a valid DKIM signature and the signature protects 
the "X-Original-Authentication-Results" header line in its h= tag 
(RFC7601) and the host in this header line matches 
 this regular expression, DMARC will fully trust the provided original 
authentication results for SPF and DKIM. 
 For example:  mx\d*\.domain\.com or ^2\.2\.2\.2$' 


changed: 

- images\svg.js (images.zip) is updated to version 1.04 - the click on a 
statistical graph now shows also the date (not only the time) 

- for whitelist modifications and reports using the email-interface, the 
'WhitelistPrivacyLevel' states (global,domain,privat) are show in addition 
to prevent confusion 

- if hash data are shown in the GUI-Edit dialog, a sort (up/down ward) 
option is available
