Description

I am one of the email administrators for my employer, Quantopian Inc. In particular, I am one of the people responsible for ensuring that all the emails sent from our domain are compliant with DMARC so they won't be quarantined or rejected.

I recently filed an issue about Ruby at https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/. Immediately after doing so, I received several DMARC failure reports resulting from the notifications about my new issue that were emailed out. This is because Redmine put "From: " in the header of the notification emails.

That's really not OK in the age of DMARC. That's going to cause notification emails to be quarantined (i.e., put in the user's spam folder) or rejected, whenever the issue author's email domain has as quarantine or reject email policy and the notification recipient's mail server enforces DMARC.

Most of the big email providers nowadays publish and enforce DMARC policies.
