This concerns me a bit here, but I'm mostly writing to support the idea of
distinguishing between some kind of guess and an actual DMARC result.

I think "dmarc=bestguesspass" is far superior to "dmarc=pass", since this is
not a DMARC pass.  I think "dmarcguess=pass" would be better since this isn't
properly a DMARC check at all.

I absolutely agree with Scott on this. "bestguesspass" is NOT DMARC. It is local policy applied in a DMARC like manner.

This is also why there is no legitimate place to send reports. The sender did not publish a DMARC record and did not ask for reports. Trying to guess where to send (unasked for) reports is guaranteed to end with poor outcomes.
