"to report a message" indicates intent, and "on receipt of a message" states 
clearly when it is intended that this be used.  Otherwise, you could report a 
message long after receipt occurs (for some reason).

If we're really keen to common factor the language, we could use:

"...an extension report type to ARF, affecting multiple registries, for use in 
generating receipt-time reports about messages that fail one or more email 
authentication checks."
