The message being discussed wasn't from a domain that was using DMARC, though 
that's usually an implicit context on a dmarc mailing list.

It's clear, but I don't think it's accurate unless you include the context of 
DMARC alignment.

Controlling the domain used in the 5322.from doesn't allow me to do SPF or dkim 
authentication, as they don't key off that domain.

To be able to authenticate I need to control the domain used in the return path 
or dkim d= - just controlling the 5322.from itself doesn't allow me to send 
authenticated mail using that domain.

As a concrete example, if I send mail with a 5322.from of [email protected] 
through a typical small esp that uses a bounce.esp.com return path and signs 
with d=esp.com then I cannot authenticate that email, despite having full 
control over the domain used in the 5322.from.

Cheers,
  Steve
