"Google does not support the DMARC ruf tag for the distribution of
forensic reports."

For some reason, I've never come across this before.  In context (the
page is telling you how to set up authentication records for your
Google-Apps-hosted domain), it would seem to mean, "Don't bother
asking for forensic reports in your DMARC records, because we won't
deliver them to you."

Presumably it also means that Google won't generate and send them to
your non-Google-hosted domain either (I can't think of how you would
do one and not the other).  I could just publish a ruf= record, and
see for myself, I suppose.

I'm mostly just curious as to why. Are they concerned they'll be
abused for backscatter spam, the way NDR reports were a few years ago?
That doesn't seem likely.

Anyone know? Alternatively, we could amuse each other with imaginative
conjectures.
