I believe 'No' means "Don't Munge", and given that we are running a separate
DMARC workaround, I believe this should not be set by default.  If you set
it, things should still work, but you'll replace our default DMARC workaround
with the Mailman approach.

We're still hoping to be able to deploy ARC, which should be better than both
the current default workaround and the Mailman workaround.


Best regards,
