I just got spam from a couple of Virginia Tech students with an impressively clueless "survey" about DKIM and DMARC usage. If you got it, could you instead reply to their professor and the VT IRB pointing out that scraping people's addresses from mailing lists is unethical and, in many countries, illegal. The multiple-choice question about DMARC usage did not include any options about DMARC causing more problems than it solved which (whether or not you agree that's the problem) tells us that they didn't do their homework. I could just barely tolerate a survey sent to the relevant mailing lists, but scraping individual addresses is way beyond the pale.
