Yes, and we're arc-sealing in the event that it catches on, but right now nobody seems to be paying attention to it. We're a "there's an RFC for it, we should do it" kind of company, so...why not. As a list admin, I'm most in favor of deliverability. >> [...] >> DKIM Validation/Arc Sealing: >> * Everything gets validated at our MXes. > > > However, the list doesn't seem to apply DMARC policies on entry. Yes, because we're still ISC, and we still have a bunch of users on a bunch of non-isc mailing lists, which may themselves be breaking DMARC for those administrative domains. Chicken, meet egg. OpenDMARC's failure rejection policy is not configurable per receiving domain. > Can internal handoff modify the message? (Except Mailman, I mean.) It can.

No promises. The problem is that some places might see things that are unmunged and don't respect arc yet and say "gee, lists.isc.org is sending us a lot of spam, let's block them." Ask me how I know. Best, -Dan
