To use Unicode in the domain part of email addresses, IDNA encoding must traditionally be used. Alternatively, SMTPUTF8 [3] allows the use of UTF-8 encoding in email addresses (both in a local part and in domain name) as well as in a mail header section. Various standards had been created to retrofit the handling of non-ASCII data to the ...

Used in RFC 4406. return path - When the email is put in the recipient's email box, a new mail header is created with the name "Return-Path:" containing the address on the MAIL FROM command.
BATV replaces an envelope sender like mailbox@example.com with prvs=tag-value=mailbox@example.com, where prvs, called "Simple Private Signature", is just one of the possible tagging schemes; actually, the only one fully specified in the draft. The BATV draft gives a framework that other possible techniques can fit into.
However, there are many similar email header fields that all contain sending party information; therefore Sender ID defines in RFC 4407 [4] a Purported Responsible Address (PRA) as well as a set of heuristic rules to establish this address from the many typical headers in an email. Syntactically, Sender ID is almost identical to SPF except that ...

Used with a time indicator to inform the recipient that the sender needs a reply within a certain deadline, e.g. RB+7 ...
However, a strict DMARC policy may block legitimate emails sent through a mailing list or forwarder, as the DKIM signature will be invalidated if the message is modified, such as by adding a subject tag or footer, and the SPF check will either fail (if the forwarder didn't change the bounce address) or be aligned with the mailing list domain ...
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email authentication method which ensures the sending mail server is authorized to originate mail from the email sender's domain. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This authentication only applies to the email sender listed in the "envelope from" field during the initial SMTP connection.
As a specific example, if exporting via IMAP the popular Gmail service uses - as a placeholder in lieu of the sender's address, follows this with a timestamp representing either the time the IMAP export was configured or the time of reception (whichever is more recent), and makes no attempt to escape "From -" strings which appear in the body of ...
