However, the DMARC mechanism enables potentially disruptive interoperability issues when messages do not flow directly from the author's administrative domain to the final Recipients. Collectively, these email flows are referred to as "indirect email flows". This document describes these interoperability issues and presents possible methods for addressing them. This document is a product of the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
