Because they *can't* be adapted by definition. DMARC "p=reject" prohibits indirect mail, and "p=quarantine" sends it to the spam bucket. Or perhaps you're thinking of the same thing that Douglas is. To him, I suppose "adapting DMARC" includes third-party authorization mechanisms. I consider those actually to be "adapting DMARC" because they require participation of the first party. YMMV, you may consider that "adapting indirect mail" because often it will be initiated by the 3rd party applying for authorization. However, several proposals have been made for limited authorization by mailbox owners who can't actually change the DMARC policies of the authorizing domain. These also require participation of the authorizing domain but not necessarily the third party. So I prefer our interpretation that TPA is "adapting DMARC".
