Totally agree, this blog makes no sense at all.

"If a server isn't on the list, it's like an application being tossed out because it wasn't fully filled or the business idea is illegal."

Seriously, what?!

"DMARC establishes your policy as a sender for what should happen to your messages if they fail DKIM or SPF."

... only if they fail DKIM AND SPF (and alignment). The whole blog doesn't even talk about identifier alignment, which is a big part of DMARC.

Maybe an AI wrote the article and got stuck trying to use a weird analogy about a "competitive accelerator program" for email security? :)
