Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) is an email authentication protocol. It is designed to give email domain owners the ability to protect their domain from unauthorized use, commonly known as email spoofing .
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 ...

SRS is a form of variable envelope return path (VERP) inasmuch as it encodes the original envelope sender in the local part of the rewritten address. [2] Consider example.com forwarding a message originally destined to bob@example.com to his new address <bob@example.net>:
Graphical schema of the format. IODEF is an object-oriented structured format, composed of 47 classes in the first version. The IODEF and IDMEF formats having a lot in common: the field structure is similar to the IDMEF one and it is an extensible format: in addition to the usual Additional Data Class, which allow adding any information relevant to the IODEF message, most enumerations are ...
