Worth noting is that their deployment of DMARC has done *nothing*
to address those security failures and thus *nothing* to stop the
forgeries that were the alleged impetus for the deployment.  In fact,
it's arguably made the impact of those worse because they now arrive
with whatever degree of endorsement DMARC validation provides.
