Hello!

When trying to deliver DMARC reports to <dm...@u64.de>, I get

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<dm...@u64.de>
    (reason: 550 This address does not send an unsigned return path.)

What does this message mean?

SMTP MAIL FROM is from=<postmas...@dorfdsl.de
Return-Path: <postmas...@dorfdsl.de>

FWIW, those two are usually tightly bound: the Return-Path header does not normally exist until it gets created when the message is delivered *out* of SMTP (e.g. to a mailbox.) What can be be varied is the "From:" *header* address.

Most likely they have implemented BATV to reject bogus bounces. BATV assures that all mail with a "From" header of postmas...@dorfdsl.de will have a SMTP sender address with a keyed modification of the "real" address.
