that's why the policy option of "p=none" exists. Perhaps the use of the
string "none," meaning "no change in handling," is too readily confused
with "none" meaning "no policy?" Which is indeed an odd duck, a policy
saying there is no policy...
Although the DMARC spec defines p=none as:
none: The Domain Owner requests no specific action be taken
regarding delivery of messages.
This is rather tortured language that invites confusion. Forgive me,
but "requests no specific action" is a request that isn't a request. It
has no real meaning.
What is actually intended is:
"The Domain Owner is expressing no policy for action to be taken
regarding delivery of the message."
