Our advice is not to publish a DMARC policy if you want to use mailing lists. We have a lot of experience with message rewriting and I think we have all found that the options range from pretty bad to really bad, so there's nothing to recommend. “Our advice” seems not to be followed by many

On SPF, our document should say simply, " a DMARC-compliant evaluator MUST NOT reject a message, based on SPF result, prior to receiving the Data section and checking for aligned and verifiable signatures." Of course, evaluators may still reject early base on known-bad server or known-bad Mail

I’m saying, as an individual, that there was a thread where we discussed a new N for the tree walk. There was appetite, but no new N was settled on. Given that prior appetite but no conclusion, I believe as part of WGLC we should choose that N. I proposed what I think would work. John Levine

It is a very common issue that companies want DMARC, but their security teams believe an SPF hard fail is more secure, and then all sorts of actual operational issues slam in. It ends up being lots of work to convince those security teams otherwise. I think it is desirable to state that this
