I installed this handy dandy t-bird dkim verifier extension which also 
allows you to just use the upstream auth-res.  After fixing a bug in it, 
I could see that it lists DMARC as a fail when DKIM failed, but SPF 
passed. The _dmarc record has p=none, so it seems really odd to call 
that a DMARC failure. Shouldn't it just be using the appropriate p= tag 
instead of "fail"? Is this left over from when Auth-res was mainly for dkim?

Aside to John Levine: you had two messages to nanog back to back, one 
verified and one failed DKIM. I doesn't seem like nanog is doing any 
rewriting or anything so that is very strange. Maybe they are 
inadvertently rewriting in some situations that aren't obvious?
