This document is the product of the Messaging Abuse Reporting Format

Technical Summary 

Deployers of message authentication technologies are increasingly 
seeking visibility into DKIM verification failures and conformance 
failures involving the published signing practices (e.g., ADSP) of 
an Administrative Management Domain. 

This document extends DKIM and ADSP to add an optional reporting 
address and some reporting parameters. Reports are generated using 
the format defined in draft-ietf-marf-authfailure-report. 

Working Group Summary 

There is nothing of real note in the working group discussion. 
The document was not controversial, and in the normal process 
of hammering out the details, everything went smoothly. The 
document has very broad consensus in the MARF working group. 

Document Quality 

There is at least one open-source implementation now, from 
the document editor. There is also an effort called DMARC, 
which builds on DKIM, and some people involved with that work 
plan to implement this protocol.
