+    It adds new expansion variables $dmarc_ar_header, $dmarc_status,
+    $dmarc_status_text, and $dmarc_used_domain.  It adds a new acl modifier
+    dmarc_status.  It adds new control flags dmarc_disable_verify and
+    dmarc_enable_forensic.
+
+22. Add expansion variable $authenticated_fail_id, which is the username
