I've tried to send out emails to two different parties and they have bounced, Captain. I really don't know what's wrong with it.
Thanks for the reply.
kimi, I just sent ya one. See if it makes it.
HPD, I have just sent you one. But I think it just bounced. Let me know if you got it.
Nothing yet, kimi.
Thanks! I am on the phone waiting for aol tech support.[:)]
DMARC - What is it?
http://dmarc.org/
DMARC, which stands for "Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance", is a technical specification created by a group of organizations that want to help reduce the potential for email-based abuse by solving a couple of long-standing operational, deployment, and reporting issues related to email authentication protocols.
DMARC standardizes how email receivers perform email authentication using the well-known SPF and DKIM mechanisms. This means that senders will experience consistent authentication results for their messages at AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! and any other email receiver implementing DMARC. We hope this will encourage senders to more broadly authenticate their outbound email which can make email a more reliable way to communicate.
Why is DMARC Important?
With the rise of the social internet and the ubiquity of e-commerce, spammers and phishers have a tremendous financial incentive to compromise user accounts, enabling theft of passwords, bank accounts, credit cards, and more. Email is easy to spoof and criminals have found spoofing to be a proven way to exploit user trust of well-known brands. Simply inserting the logo of a well known brand into an email gives it instant legitimacy with many users.
Users can't tell a real message from a fake one, and large mailbox providers have to make very difficult (and frequently incorrect) choices about which messages to deliver and which ones might harm users. Senders remain largely unaware of problems with their authentication practices because there's no scalable way for them to indicate they want feedback and where it should be sent. Those attempting new SPF and DKIM deployment proceed very slowly and cautiously because the lack of feedback also means they have no good way to monitor progress and debug problems.
DMARC addresses these issues, helping email senders and receivers work together to better secure emails, protecting users and brands from painfully costly abuse.
How Does DMARC Work?
A DMARC policy allows a sender to indicate that their emails are protected by SPF and/or DKIM, and tells a receiver what to do if neither of those authentication methods passes - such as junk or reject the message. DMARC removes guesswork from the receiver's handling of these failed messages, limiting or eliminating the user's exposure to potentially fraudulent & harmful messages. DMARC also provides a way for the email receiver to report back to the sender about messages that pass and/or fail DMARC evaluation.
Who Can Use DMARC?
DMARC policies are published in the public Domain Name System (DNS), and available to everyone. Because the specification is available with no licensing or similar restriction, any interested party is free to implement it.
Status of DMARC
April 2, 2014: The DMARC specification has been submitted as an Informational Document to the RFC Independent Submissions Editor (ISE). Link to DMARC Specification.
DMARC was developed by the organizations listed below over the course of several years. The specification was publicly announced on January 30th, 2012 and was immediately available for download from the DMARC.org website. A mailing list for anybody interested in reviewing or discussing the specification was announced and started seeing traffic the same day. Discussions on the list have provided a great deal of feedback on and input to the specification.
After seeing dramatic adoption, DMARC was submitted to the IETF for standardization on March 31, 2013. That summer a BoF was held at IETF-87 (announcement, agenda and minutes) in Berlin to discuss chartering a working group to develop extensions and supporting documents like the Using DMARC best common practices (BCP) document.
While there was enthusiasm around the proposed working group, there was also a strong sentiment among some respondents that either A) the specification was complete enough that there was nothing to warrant an IETF working group, or
After a great deal of deliberation and exploring all options, the specification was switched to the Independent Submissions track effective April 2, 2014. The result will not be an IETF Internet Standard as originally envisioned by the DMARC.org member organizations. However it will provide a fixed reference document that can provide the basis for development on the Standards track at a later date.
As of early 2013 DMARC had been deployed to protect roughly 2 billion email accounts - over 60% of consumer mailboxes globally, and over 80% of consumer mailboxes in the United States.
AOL is anti gun and pulls this crap about 3 times a year, sometimes it is all emails and sometimes only the forums. I'll get the propeller heads to look into it. (Charter and comcast do it as well)
Thank you, Sir, I really do appreciate that. I told the young man that I was talking to that this ...well, I used the term a bunch of GD communists a couple of times, which was no doubt recorded, but that's how I feel.

Have a great evening Mark!

my thoughts exactly
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
