Re: Incoming SMTP in the year 2017 and absence of DKIM

In article <20171129183535.GB18534@UCSD.Edu> you write:

As I see it, the problem isn't with DKIM, it's with the implementation of DMARC and other such filters. Almost all of them TEST THE WRONG FROM ADDRESS. They compare the Author's address (the header From: line) instead of the Sender's address,

Sigh. I have my differences with the people who designed DMARC but they are not stupid and they really do understand the relevant RFCs. Some of them even wrote some of those RFCs. The reason they look at the From: line is that's the one recipients see. The Sender: header was a nice idea but in practice, it's not useful. R's, John
