Hi Jacob,
  [not speaking for MS or anyone other than myself]

Section 6.6.4 of the DMARC RFC  states

If email is subject to the DMARC policy of "reject", the Mail
   Receiver SHOULD reject the message (see Section 
10.3<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489#section-10.3>)


SHOULD does not require anyone to reject the message.   It is perfectly 
reasonable for a high volume mail receiver to use additional signals to 
influence their decision to accept/reject or quarantine that email.

To be clear,  having the sender publish a p=REJECT  is a very strong and 
convenient signal for email delivery.  That said, tt does not need to be the 
sole arbitrator of accepting or rejecting an email message.

I hope this helps.
-Sam

Subject: [dmarc-discuss] Office 365 does not repect dmarc rejection policy!?

Here's a snip of the message header, it looks like Microsoft has opted to 
implement DMARC, but not respect it.

Authentication-Results: spf=pass (sender IP is 209.141.51.12)
 smtp.mailfrom=jacobdevans.com; appalachiatech.com; dkim=none (message not
 signed) header.d=none;appalachiatech.com; dmarc=fail action=oreject
 header.from=appalachiatech.com;

Do we expect Microsoft to respect it or is this another lost battle to the 
software giant?

-Jake
