Microsoft is not the enemy here [😊]

As was the case with -all, o=- and discardable:

  *   although it may feel like one, p=reject is not a control over receivers' 
environments given over to domain registrants, it's purely a request to 
receivers;
  *   if a receiver doesn't yet believe that the domain registrant knows what 
they're doing (or does believe that they don't) then the request will of course 
be ignored;
  *   even if the domain registrant clearly has all of their ducks in a row, 
honouring p=reject will almost certainly cause collateral damage because of 
various types of DKIM-breaking forwarding, so the receiver has to believe that 
the benefit in honouring p=reject will exceed the harm in doing so, before 
deciding to do so; and
  *   some receiver environments make it unusually difficult to make this 
trade-off well, Microsoft's in particular.


The mere failure of a single message to be rejected in a single case is not 
cause for concern. Per the situation motivating ARC, there's still plenty more 
to do.

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?
