This is also incorrect. Reporting (rua/ruf) are optional.
> if you don't have a policy of "REJECT" set on your domains, DMARC isn't doing you a whole lot of good.
With "quarantine" failing emails will go to spam, which is plenty good enough in most cases.
I never stated RUA/RUF were required.
My intent was to state that the parent I was replying to implied "services" or "servers" were required to collect and/or process reporting. One can simply collect reporting and process offline or simply consume manually. I do this, personally, for a few low email volume domains I own. You can't get RUA/RUF any other way.

There are free services that provide analysis, such as https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com/, although arguably you still need an email address to sign up. But it is another, actually useful, way to receive the reports.

YES. That's what I said.
