Consider the challenges to ensuring a DMARC pass.  That's a pretty high barrier to entry against generating reports.

Well, if a mail site is unable to get a DMARC pass, they have more urgent problems to solve than setting up aggregate report generation.


No, they probably don't have more urgent problems. Sites choose not to adopt DMARC for a variety of reasons. It's probably a good idea to respect that variety.

The model that a receiving site is not allowed to report DMARC traffic unless that site is also generating DMARC authentication is Procrustean.  And as I noted, is likely counter-productive.

There is no such thing as "DMARC authentication". The paragraph quoted is poorly written and should be rewritten to say that the report should pass either SPF or DKIM authentication as I wrote in issue #98. This has nothing to do with the DMARC at all. And if requiring authentication is "religious fervor", I really don't know what to say.

I understand the zeal that drives a lot of the effort to promote DMARC, but the danger with aggressive proselytizing is that it changes from serious technical and operational evaluation into purely religious fervor.
