What? There is an spec for DMARC. With the current DMARC specification,

p=reject and said reinjected messages would fail a DMARC check when
performed by its ultimate Recipient(s)?

Why would a mailing list care to claim spec conformance?

All they care about is getting the mail delivered, managing subscriber lists,
etc.  Since there are no internet police, can not doesn't mean anything.

Lets not lump "mailing list" into the same kind or group of MLM operations. I care. I have a product to market. As a side note, there is a legal argument to make when a MLM has intentionally ignored a security protocol designed to protect a domain and end-users. Claims of MalPractice and Intentional Neglect can easily be made. There is most certainly, product liability issues. Can't have it both ways.

The point is not what the MLM does, but what the MLM RECEIVER does. It MUST also be a DMARC compliant system too as a protocol design presumption.

So as I always said, the first rule of thumb is to follow the honor protocol first. And if that doesn't make sense, then its broken. DMARC is an incomplete protocol until it offers support for ADID != SDID conditions whether its deemed feasible or not by some.
