I have only recently implemented all of the tools needed to be able to test
PSL vs Tree Walk.

I looked at messages which had passed reputation filtering and content
filtering, to isolate messages where DMARC alone could be determinative.
 Within that group, 75% of the messages did not need tree walk, either
because of strict alignment or no alignment.

For the subset where relaxed alignment would be applicable, about  11% had
no policy, and 1.6% had false failures because the domain owner had
published strict alignment.

For the subset where relaxed alignment was both specified and applicable,
the Tree Walk caused about 2% to switch from PASS to FAIL because the
domains being compared were incorrectly viewed as different organizations.

Is this consistent with the previous research into this issue?
