Interesting you should mention that, given that I just watched a video

Since archives may potentially even start with random data, I wonder how
reliable the suggested sniffing is? If the sender of a DMARC report
fails to provide correct content type information, which should be
simple enough, how trustworthy are the archives themselves?
