[Linux-aus] DKIM and DMARC

[Simon Lyall]

Everybody.

It appears the below email proporting to come from Russell Coker is fake. 
It fails DKIM authentication and according to coker.com.au's published 
DMARC records any email pretending to come from him that fails this lookup 
must be rejected.

:-)

Okay, to be serious the only real solution if we want people who are using 
DMARC to be able to participate in mailing lists is to re-write to From 
address of emails containing it.

It looks ugly but when they explicitly tell me "Drop any emails from my 
domain that are not properly signed" and large providers like google and 
yahoo will there are not a lot of good choices.
