Text for Verify External Destinations is rough.

Upcoming change:

OLD
5.  Verifying External Destinations

   If the target domain of a mailto address of a ruf= tag is not the
   same as the DMARC record domain where the tag was found, the report
   generator MUST verify that the target domain acknowledges sending
   those reports; the procedure is described in Section 3 of
   [I-D.ietf-dmarc-aggregate-reporting].


NEW
5.  Verifying External Destinations

   It is possible to specify destinations for failure reports that are
   outside of the domain requesting the reports.  These destinations are
   commonly referred to as "external destinations" and may represent a
   different domain controlled by the same organization, a contracted
   report processing service, or some other arrangement.

   Without this check, a bad actor could publish a DMARC policy record
   that requests that failure reports be sent to an external
   destination, then deliberately send messages that will generate
   failure reports as a form of abuse.  Or, a domain owner could
   incorrectly publish a DMARC policy with an external destination for
   failure reports, forcing the external destination to deal with
   unwanted messages and potential privacy issues.

   Therefore, in case of external destinations, a Mail Receiver who
   generates failure reports MUST use the Verifying External
   Destinations procedure described in Section 3 of
   [I-D.ietf-dmarc-aggregate-reporting], substituting the "ruf=" tag
   where the "rua=" tag appears in that procedure.`
