Just received an email from the IT department: "The university will be changing the DMARC action for the domain space waikato.ac.nz from quarantine to reject on Monday 16th August."

What was the effect of “quarantine” before? Would it have been causing delays in posts getting through? (Because I don’t think I noticed any on mine.) On a further look, I found the following header line in the echo of my last posting back to myself: spf=pass (google.com: best guess record for domain of ldo(a)geek-central.gen.nz designates 72.249.182.57 as permitted sender) So it seems like Google’s algorithms are smart enough to figure out that my mail is coming from an address associated with that domain.
