And, of course, "Reject" only works if you are checking SPF/DKIM/DMARC at the 
edge, before sending the final 250 ok.

Afterwards, it's just another source of backscatter.

this matches my experience



if i rejected messages on dmarc failure, i would reject a lot of legitimate 
messages (from well-intentioned but misconfigured senders and mailing lists) 
but not so much spam



i would actually support everyone taking dmarc more seriously as an incentive 
to 'address' some of this
