Hi,

We have a potential customer in the business of doing penetration testing, and 
they want to send penetration testing phishing emails authorized by a target 
company to that company's own employees.

If we allowed this in our network, I would require:

(1) Evidence to our satisfaction that this was authorized by the target company

(2) An X- header explaining what they are doing with a link to find more info

(3) Use of a from address at a domain name like 
“whatever-company-name-is-phishing.com” -- which would have a web-page 
explaining what they do

(4) The approval of our upstream's Abuse Desk.

I’m considering also requiring:

(5) Emails must be DKIM signed with a d= of the target company domain name.

For example:

From: f...@whatever-company-name-is-phishing.com
To: emplo...@example.com
DKIM-Signature: … d=example.com ….

Thoughts? Are there best practices for something like this?

Thanks,

David Harris
