I hate DMARC. Too much complicated, human unreadable.
TXT record is "a free real-estate", no need to use short variables.

Computers have so much RAM now, there's no need to write efficient code - it's free real estate!

You might change your tune if every lookup starts talking a second or two to read through the DNS entries... Anyway DMARC isn't that complicated. You make it sound like regex or brainfuck.

edit: and it's getting simpler, too! Funny about p=reject being mostly discouraged now, I almost never use it anyway, and I can't lie I felt a little called out over pct=100 😅

The ”indirect email flows” issue, i.e. forwarding and mailing lists breaking DMARC alignment, remains unsolved

Perhaps they should keep working on it, then. Easier said than done, I know...
