I'm just curious: Is anyone on this thread a lawyer?

Murray,

You don't need to be a lawyer to understand one's ethical engineering obligations. Generally, it would the product development engineer that recognizes ethical design issues and product liability issues and it would be him/her that would bring a particular issue with their legal council. There has been similar (mail blocks) court/lawsuits precedence for what has been described in this thread.

Keep in mind what DMARC purports to offer. If someone intentionally and neglectfully ignores it knowing full well that it can be used as a highly reliable fraud detection mechanism which the domain owner has given you full authorization to apply ("reject"), if you don't, well, that will put you at risk -- despite local policy overrides. Don't let yourself hide behind local policy. It may ultimately excuse you with the changes in some laws in the past decade, but it won't eliminate you from risk.
