Abstract:
This memo presents a proposal for a scalable mechanism by which a
mail sending organization can express, using the Domain Name System,
domain-level policies and preferences for message validation,
disposition, and reporting, and a mail receiving organization can use
those policies and preferences to improve mail handling.
The email ecosystem currently lacks a cohesive mechanism through
which email senders and receivers can make use of multiple
authentication protocols to establish reliable domain identifiers,
communicate policies about those identifiers, and report about mail
using those identifiers. This lack of cohesion has several effects:
receivers have difficulty providing feedback to senders about
authentication, senders therefore have difficulty evaluating their
authentication deployments, and as a result neither is able to make
effective use of existing authentication technology
The enclosed proposal is not intended to introduce mechanisms that
provide elevated delivery privilege of authenticated email. The
proposal presents a mechanism for policy distribution that enables a
continuum of increasingly strict handling of messages that fail
multiple authentication checks, from no action, through altered
delivery, up to message rejection.
