Dear DMARC WG,

A draft has been submitted for review.  It covers past failures while also 
providing a path forward.

I have experience with similar systems operating at much higher scale without 
difficulty or using much in the way of resources.  Serving several very large 
ISPs worth of users making queries against every received message that then 
returned about 2 billion unique resource responses. Originally, the service was 
free.

In the wake of a massive compromise of accounts, some fairly large ISPs are 
doing perhaps the only thing that is not (yet) ignored, DMARC.

However, this new scheme only needs to sustain queries against already 
validated third-party domains, but that then fail DMARC alignment assertions. 
The number of resource records likely needed by large ISPs will be in the 10s 
of thousands.  For smaller domains, this will likely only be a hand-full.  
Domains asserting DMARC alignment practices are receiving cooperative feedback 
from many receivers who are also acting on behalf of these domains to either 
reject or quarantine non-aligned messages.  Comparing this feedback against 
their own outbound logs should permit fairly automatic alignment exception list 
creation that can then be kindly offered to their cooperative receivers.  These 
record permit several mitigation strategies in the case of trouble. This scheme 
should reduce the amount of feedback collected or support required to deal with 
broken services.  This can be done by creating an informal federation of 
third-party providers.  Perhaps one of the requirements for being included in 
the federation would be to provide normal DMARC feedback. ;^)
