Yeah. It's clear from the DMARC summary reports I'm getting that the big mail systems already have a pretty good idea of where the mailing lists are, so it should be possible to pre-seed a whitelist so most people won't have to explicitly apply unless something screws up.

The big buys already have whitelists - and an awful lot of our mailing lists are already on them. (Every 6 months or so, some large site blocks our IP, I go to their postmaster site, fill in the form, and every is copacetic again). The folks who are honoring DMARC p=reject are clearly ignoring whitelists that THEY ALREADY HAVE!
