https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126?hl=en#requirements-5k&zippy=%2Crequirements-for-sending-or-more-messages-per-day%2Crequirements-for-all-senders
mentions DMARC in requirements for all senders:
"Don’t impersonate Gmail From: headers. Gmail will begin using a DMARC quarantine enforcement policy, and impersonating Gmail From: headers might impact your email delivery."
but only explicitly requires it in requirements for senders of >5,000 messages a day:
"Set up DMARC email authentication for your sending domain ..."
...which is not quite as clear as it might be.
Can a "DMARC quarantine enforcement policy" operate, if the sender doesn't use DMARC? This idea seems to relate more to SPF than anything?
