(*) I've seen one posting here or somewhere else that noted that letting bad
mail through can lead to end-users being deceived. I'll claim that while true,
it is not relevant, since the behavior happens after DMARC, and the like, are
relevant. That is, DMARC, etc., do not inform the end-user behavior.
Aren't those two paragraphs self-contradictory?
If DMARC were dependable, maybe users would learn to trust From:. Or maybe
not. Avoiding end user considerations cuts both ways. Yet, we can trust that
if we do a well-defined, clear job, then the whole system will work better.
