Actually, mailing lists *can* implement DMARC, just not that way: Do a DMARC check on all incoming messages, and if the domain policy is one that is incompatible with the list's own policies - whatever they are - either change the list's policies to conform to that message or reject it outright, preferably with a nasty "find another a better mail provider" sort of message. If the IETF wants to take a leadership position in regards to this issue, perhaps someone could set this up. > If receivers want to implement DMARC policy, they need to make their false > alarm whitelist first.

The problem is there's no way to stop inappropriate use of such politicies in advance of it happening. The best you can do is apply the clue-by-four later. Ned
