AOL Mail Moves To Stop Email Spoofing With DMARC Policy to 'reject'

[engine]

Following on the heels of Yahoo [webmasterworld.com], AOL has moved to block email spoofing.

Once again, my feeling is that this should have been done sooner.

In our ongoing effort to protect your AOL Mail address from being used in connection with email spoofing, AOL Mail is immediately changing its policy to help mail providers reject email messages that are sent using forged AOL Mail addresses.

AOL is taking this step because spammers are sending email that appears to be from valid AOL email addresses.AOL Mail Moves To Stop Email Spoofing With DMARC Policy to 'reject' [blog.aol.com]

We regret that legitimate senders of email may be temporarily impacted by this change, and those affected will need to update how they send email messages.

I setup DMARC on all of my e-mail domains, but I have never set it to reject mail. I've just been monitoring it all this time. It's good to know that option is there.
