That's curious. Maybe I'm not understanding, but:
DMARC doesn't check Sender, so I don't see how this is relevant. Or do you
mean that what one would now put in Sender is required to be in From?
The cases in which only the LHS differs are rather uninteresting though;
Christian H. is quite right. We've taken a step backwards.
Maybe in some ways that's true. On the other hand, if almost nothing ever
checked Sender to begin with, and a lot of things that "should" have
generated it didn't, what practical difference does it make?
