Hi,

Tons of list traffic keeps getting quarantined because of DMARC.  For
example, a recent message from David Jones <djo...@ena.com>:

DMARC policy for domain ena.com suggests Rejection as
DMARC_POLICY_REJECT, but quarantined due to rule settings

$ host -t txt _dmarc.ena.com
_dmarc.ena.com descriptive text "v=DMARC1\; p=reject\; sp=reject\; 
rua=mailto:dm...@ena.net\;";

(In this instance, we've overridden the DMARC policy and converted it
to quarantine instead of reject, so I was able to retrieve the email, but...)

I'm pretty sure Mailman can do DMARC-munging.  Can ezmlm do the equivalent
of Mailman's "ALLOW_FROM_IS_LIST" feature?

Regards,

Dianne.

My read on this is that "@ena.com" is living dangerously. They publish SPF records and DMARC records (with p=reject) but do NOT DKIM sign their mail.

In general it's dangerous to expect SPF to work thru a maillist or other forwarder. Often DKIM will but you cannot count on it (particularly if the list engages in Subject munging).

If they're only going to use SPF then publishing a DMARC policy of "reject" is risky.
See: https://dmarc.org/2017/03/can-i-use-dmarc-if-i-have-only-deployed-spf/

Please let me know if I'm misinterpreting the signs.

Dave
