[dmarc-ietf] DMARC alignment conflicts with RFC 5322 on the use of the From and Sender header fields

[Jesse Thompson <[e-mail]>]

I'm relaying these DMARC questions/concerns on behalf of an email admin at another university.  I quickly searched this list's archives for the Sender header vs DMARC alignment issue and don't see much aside from a conversation in May 2015.  Is it worth further discussion and/or an issue in Trac?  I think I know the answer to the second concern, but I'll defer to people more adept at explaining the nuance.

See below...

I don't see on the list of issues the most fundamental problem of DMARC, namely that it conflicts with RFC 5322 on the use of the From and Sender header fields [1] and possibly with RFC 6326 as to the significance of DKIM fail [2].  The former is the more serious problem. Making DMARC alignment part of a standard for Internet messages requires a revision of RFC 5322. I'd love to see this resolved.

The "From:" field specifies the author(s) of the message,
   that is, the mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible
   for the writing of the message.  The "Sender:" field specifies the
   mailbox of the agent responsible for the actual transmission of the
   message.

signature verification failure does not force rejection of the message;
