Picking up the thread on another ticket that was brought before the group
pre-holidays and has lain fallow since the end of 2020...

John Levine asserted that there wasn't a lot of strong opinion on the
matter, and therefore we'd be leaving the spec as is, with the MAIL FROM
SPF check the only one that matters for DMARC.

Ale replied, but I don't interpret his reply as challenging John's
assertion.

Can this ticket be closed?
