(to respond to the content...)


So, the driving issue is that it's characterizing problematic usage; use 
that did not achieve a DMARC pass.

And, yeah, that doesn't mean the use was unauthorized, given the other 
possible explanations for failure.

So, without suggesting a label, I'd describe this factor as "how serious 
is a failure to get a DMARC pass"?  If that's the right semantic, what's 
a reasonable label to use?  If it's not the right semantic, what is?
