The IETF’s DMARC Working Group has submitted documents to update the DMARC protocol to the RFC Editor. For reference, here is a high-level overview of the changes introduced in these updates:

  • Informational ⇨ Standards Track
  • Public Suffix List replaced by DNS Tree Walk and Public Suffix Domains (PSD)
  • Several tags deprecated: pct=, rf=, ri=
  • np= tag added for non-existent subdomain policy
  • psd= tag brought from RFC 9091 (obsoleted)
  • Report size limit notation removed from rua=
  • DMARC SPF only uses MAIL FROM:, no fallback to HELO
  • More guidance about PII/NPI risks in reporting

More information is available by checking the final drafts of the documents.
