LocalVerificationFailed(SenderDomain?)

Records that this deployment checked a DKIM signature itself and it did not verify.

public static SenderAuthentication LocalVerificationFailed(SenderDomain? fromDomain)

Parameters

fromDomain SenderDomain?

The domain the message displays as its sender, where it wrote a usable one.

Returns

SenderAuthentication

The verdict.

Remarks

It is a failure for the same reason a server-reported one is: something was actually checked, and a signature that did not verify against the key its own domain publishes is more than knowing nothing. What it does not reach is a failed author, because the signature may never have been the displayed author's — that conclusion comes from a DMARC result, which no local verification produces.
