[Mailman-Users] DMARC documentation lacking

Hello, just upgraded from 2.1.16 to 2.1.20, because I was fed up with the DMARC issue. I googled a bit and found http://wiki.list.org/DEV/DMARC but it lacks info, especially: 1) how to add a default value in mm_cfg.py from the release notes I guess it's something like DEFAULT_DMARC_MODERATION_ACT
