DMARC methods in mailman --- [LEDE-DEV] DMARC related mass bounces / disabled subscriptions (fwd) Jo-Philipp Wich: [LEDE-DEV] DMARC related mass bounces / disabled subscriptions

2016-12-14 08:26:35

It is unfortunate that the IETF hasn't shown more leadership here.
Auto-learning address books are going to have a problem with From lines that
say:

        First Last Name Via LISTNAME <listaddress(_at_)example(_dot_)com>

since this will hijack "First Last" to point to the list, which is going to
cause all manner of email leaks.  Maybe we can do better there.

Hi list,

a recent mailing list post from a DMARC enabled domain caused a large
flood of bounces from various mail providers, causing an automatic
disabling of about 190 subscriptions [1].

I re-enabled those subscriptions manually so there is no need for
further action on your side.

In order to mitigate this problem in the future, I configured this list
to wrap mails from DMARC enabled domains into an outer mail using the
mailing list itself as sender [2].

Please excuse the inconvenience caused by this issue.


Regards,
Jo
