RFC 9057
Title: Email Author Header Field
Author: D. Crocker
Status: Experimental
Stream: Independent
Date: June 2021
Mailbox: dcrocker@bbiw.net
Pages: 7
Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None
I-D Tag: draft-crocker-email-author-04.txt

DOI: 10.17487/RFC9057
Internet mail defines the From: header field to indicate the author
of the message's content and the Sender: field to indicate who
initially handled the message on the author's behalf. The Sender:
field is optional if it has the same information as the From: field.
This was not a problem until development of stringent protections on
use of the From: field. It has prompted Mediators, such as mailing
lists, to modify the From: field to circumvent mail rejection caused
by those protections. In effect, the From: field has become dominated
by its role as a handling identifier.
The current specification augments the altered use of the From: field
by specifying the Author: field, which ensures identification of the
original author of the message and is not subject to modification by
Mediators. This document is published as an Experimental RFC to
assess community interest, functional efficacy, and technical
adequacy.
EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.
