I didn't find that it helped my understanding of what it was saying about my site vs. sites to which I sent email. It did flag linuxmafia as a possible threat. And I couldn't figure out why a DMARC report from Google for shallowsky would be saying anything about linuxmafia anyway; does that represent something Google is complaining about in a message sent from shallowsky to a mailing list on linuxmafia but ultimately landing in a Gmail user's inbox? Nothing I could find made that clear.

I guess I'll do that too, and I'll save those aggregates for a few days or weeks in case I find an explanation of what they mean, and if not, I'll turn them off.

I actually could turn on DKIM, because shallowsky no longer handles any mailing lists (the two smartlists the server handles are under another domain). But I resent it for the reasons you detailed so well in your other message (I really hate forced From munging), so I haven't so far.
