Jim,

Bear in mind that all reporting is at the good graces of receivers; the options 
to fine-tune what is sent may, or may not, actually be implemented by any given 
receiver. (This isn't an interoperability or conformance comment so much as a 
real-world systems one. Postel's Law definitely applies.) Anything that you can 
reasonably do by yourself with the data that you are given is something that 
you should be willing to do, at least for some receivers some of the time. 
Trying to use the DMARC options as configuration tools to fine-tune what data 
you work with isn't likely to work very well, that's something that you should 
be doing with the tools that you use to process the data that you receive.


Disregarding (and even not requesting) aggregate reports is your prerogative of 
course, but note that even amongst receivers who will send aggregate reports to 
strangers (organisations with whom they don't not have formal NDAs), the vast 
majority will not send failure reports. Most of the useful information that 
DMARC will give you is to be found in the aggregate reports.

Thanks John,

I guess I'm now more inclined to remove the rua= stanza as I don't
manage user accounts and am really only interested in the failures.
