The average Internet user doesn't understand DMARC. The average person on an Internet mailing list doesn't understand DMARC either, and even the average tech person on a mailing list doesn't understand DMARC. All they know is that their mailing list doesn't work, or that they have been unsubscribed. Only people who work on DMARC understand DMARC. Asking the average person to switch their email address just so that they can participate in mailing lists isn't a solution. --Terry
