I wouldn't count on it. The reasonable approach to this kind of nonsense is for the relatively small set of ISPs using DMARC policy to whitelist the mail they already know it mishandles. >b) The way things are going all domains will sooner or later publish a >DMARC policy if they want their mail to be accepted anywhere. No, not at all. Comcast sent out a press release specifically saying that they have no plans to publish a DMARC policy record. Remember that AOL and Yahoo had huge security breaches in which crooks stole customer info including address books, and they're misusing DMARC as as panic reaction to try to compensate, sort of. Let's just say this move hasn't made any them friends in the industry.
