This is different than yesterday. From what I can tell there is no 
identifying information of the original message like message-id in the 
report xml. If i'm wrong, please point me to it. Since the object of the 
reports is to have confidence so that I can set a p=reject policy, all 
an attacker needs to do is bombard $LARGEPROVIDER with bogus messages 
purportedly from my domain to make me not want to change over to reject 
for fear of large providers dumping legitimate email from my domain. 
This could be somewhat mitigated if you know all of the IP addresses 
that send for you domain, but that could be difficult with the use of 
outsourced email, etc and shouldn't be a requirement. Addition of the 
message-id would allow me to cross check from my logs, say, that it was 
a legitimate message from my domain or not. There may be other ways to 
solve this, but that is one.
