DMARCbis WGLC Issue - Section 11.3 #123

Closed toddherr closed 6 months ago

The second bullet of section 11.3 DNS Security reads:

"If they can block outgoing or reply DNS messages, they can prevent systems from discovering senders' DMARC policies, causing recipients to assume p=none by default."

This seems inconsistent with the text in 5.7.2 ("Continue if one is found, or terminate DMARC evaluation otherwise") and 4.7 ("Handling of DNS errors when querying for the DMARC policy record is left to the discretion of the Mail Receiver") neither of which describe a scenario where "No DMARC record found means DMARC record exists with a policy of p=none"

I believe the phrase "causing recipients to assume p=none by default" should be stricken from the bullet in 11.3.

Phrase has been stricken in the working copy of rev -31
