I'm not aware of any statistics available to the public.
Authentic email from eBay, Amazon, Paypal and American Airlines may not be "commercial bulk email." Instead, it can be email confiming the success of important transactions, account break-in attempts, or notifying changes in schedules, etc., and therefore be of very high value to end-users. > > Also, your mailing list would work again in a heartbeat, in a > > DMARC-world, if you just configured them to put the original > > Header-From into the "description" of a new Header-From, like: > > We are aware of the various kludges to circumvent DMARC breakage.

You say that as if a solution that works but you don't like is not a solution but a kludge. Internet Email is built on a pile of kludges after kludges. It just wasn't designed to live as long as it has. Why is this kludge of a solution worst that the kludge of closing down open email relays in the past? The disappearance of open email relays surely affected badly several legitimate use cases of email...
