I don't understand Jared's concern.  His DMARC policy, like mine, is p=none
which tells receivers to do nothing DMARC-y with our messages.  I don't get
any sort of blowback from nanog posts that I can recall seeing.

Unfortunately, we lost that battle a long time ago.  It's "more secure" and
"best practice" so go away.
