The IESG has approved the following document: - 'SPF Authentication Failure Reporting using the Abuse Report Format' (draft-ietf-marf-spf-reporting-10.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Messaging Abuse Reporting Format Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pete Resnick and Peter Saint-Andre. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-marf-spf-reporting/ Technical Summary This memo presents extensions to the Abuse Reporting Format (ARF), and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) specifications to allow for detailed reporting of message authentication failures in an on-demand fashion. This memo updates RFC4408. Working Group Summary There was little controversy of note. The extensions presented here are useful to sites deploying SPF and seeking visibility into situations where mail covered by SPF is rejected or otherwise affected by local policy. Demand for this capability is increasing, especially from domains that are popular scam targets. Document Quality There are only a couple of known existing implementations, one made by a working group participant as the specification solidified to prove that it's viable. There are, however, several vendors that intend to implement this specificaiton and its adjuncts (draft-ietf-marf-redaction and draft-ietf-marf-dkim-reporting), along with other non-MARF specifications that provide this kind of feedback to respond to customer demand, upon publication. Personnel Murray Kucherawy <msk@cloudmark.com> is the Document Shepherd. Pete Resnick <presnick@qualcomm.com> is the responsible area director. RFC Editor Note Please make the following change to the document: OLD spf-rr-tag = "rr=" spf-rr-type 0* ( ":" spf-rr-type ) NEW spf-rr-tag = "rr=" spf-rr-type *( ":" spf-rr-type )
