Hi,

just answering this one bit, which I believe is at the heart of the disagreement:

[...]  It's the majority which are routinely subjected to phishing and spam messages...

IMHO "phishing and spam messages" is way too broad a concept to permit useful discussion. DMARC nowadays addresses a whole range of problems of varying severity to the end user.

When protecting security-sensitive domains like banks, where phishing is a major threat to the end user, a fail-closed policy is a necessity, and incompatibility with some uses is acceptable.

However, mailboxes with no special security needs call for a different tradeoff. From the end user's point of view, spam or addressbook-based phishing attempts are small annoyances that they somehow deal with (otherwise, they couldn't be using e-mail today). The goal here is an incremental win over an acceptable statu quo, not a revolution. No legitimate communication should thus be made to ressort to tedious workarounds to send mail (mailing-list users having to send every message twice, really?) or to find out who said what.

Cheers,
Baptiste
