[dmarc-ietf] OT: Yet another addition to dmarc-rfc7601bis-00

[Alessandro Vesely <[e-mail]>]

Would it be possible to insert a dnswl method in the new spec?

Last time I asked for its insertion, (via expert opinion) it was rejected based
on the definition of ptype, according to which The exception to ptype +
property indicating which particular part of the message from which the data is
extracted is policy.[*]  Instead, dnswl method[**] provides for a ptype of
"dns".  For a live example:

    Authentication-Results: wmail.tana.it;
        dnswl=pass dns.zone=list.dnswl.org
        policy.ip=127.0.9.2
        policy.txt="ietf.org https://dnswl.org/s/?s=1703"

Adding that method in the main spec would certainly result in a better
visibility, which is why I'm asking.  It is a very easy method for those many
servers that put no authentication at all on the messages they relay.

Besides, that ptype could also be used to define DKIM algorithm as, say, dns.a
or dns.key-a instead of header.a --just an idea.
