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.
