Hi Philip,

Ok.

A per-subscriber option makes matters easier.

Alexey posted some statistics about all the IETF mailing lists at 
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg100242.html

That one mailing list is not typical.  I don't have access to the 
data at the SMTP level to comment about messages from the mailing 
list which are rejected by receiving mail servers.

No.  I am saying that 40% of the subscribers are receiving messages 
from the mailing list through mail systems which advertise DMARC 
policies for the domain names which those subscribers are using.
