Feedback Loop (email) - Abuse Feedback Reporting Format

Abuse Feedback Reporting Format

The Abuse Reporting Format (ARF) is the standard format for FBL reports. Much like bounce messages, whose design is inherited by ARF, an abuse report consists of a human readable part, followed by a machine readable part, and the original message. The report is characterized by a Feedback-Type field whose values may indicate one of abuse, fraud, virus, or other (more types are registered at IANA).

Microsoft, who use the name Junk Mail Reporting (JMR), also use their own format.

Famous quotes containing the words abuse and/or reporting:

    Let us not forget who we are. Drug abuse is a repudiation of everything America is.
    Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.
    Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
