Nobody seems to be debating the utility of aggregate reports.  Why is that?

Their not being actionable is similar to failure reports.

I am reasonably sure that every ESP I know would laugh at the claim that aggregate reports aren't actionable.


Would they? Yet I found no interesting "actions" to do with DMARC reports. Don't get me wrong, I coded an XSL stylesheet to read them better and a mail filter o generate them. Sometimes, I even look at them (and I might learn more from my own reports than from external ones.) Usually, though, they don't say anything actionable.

I check log summaries and abuse responses daily. Checking DMARC, like positive MTA-STS, is not productive. If someone were to tell us about their daily use of aggregate reports, they might not only laugh, but write an enlightening article.

Note that I didn't say "100% useless". The same considerations apply to failure reports.
