I entirely agree that the DMARC result is different from the
wanted/unwanted result. If my opening failed to convey that, it
was not intentional. My real point was that DMARC is, or should
be, for the benefit of the evaluator.
Specifically, I have trouble with the language about "Domain
owners enable verification...", because it implies that DMARC is
controlled by, and consequently for the benefit of, the domain owner.
RFC 7489 and DMARCbis both say that if a policy record is not
discovered, then "Mail Receivers SHOULD NOT apply the DMARC mechanism
to the message."
Forgive me, but there is a simpler point here.
1. "enables" does not "imply" control; it asserts it quite plainly.
2. The claim of implying to benefit only to the domain owner is simply
incorrect.
