As Franck noted, there are a lot of bad forwarders, particularly in
software from Redmond WA.  There is also mailing list traffic, which
people actually want, as opposed to the 90% of bulk mail that they
just tolerate.  On this mailing list, for example, roughly 100% of the
messages fail any DMARC policy.  (I'm not guessing, I have
statistics.)

By coincidence, I just blogged about this.  See this post:

You might also want to research Kurt's background with DMARC.  He
knows what he's talking about.
