Resolved Mail get lost with wrong Dmarc

Bernben

New Pleskian
Hey Pleskians!
We have a case, where a remote Mail user have a dmarc record as following:

$ dig txt _dmarc.domain.com +short "" "v=DMARC1"

This leads to an Error when a mail is sent to our Plesk server, the Mail is not bounced but also never delivered, and from the logs i would have assumed it got delivered, but it surely isn't.

I could reproduce the issue with an own domain on a remote server with false DMARC
$ dig txt _dmarc.wrongdmarc.com +short "v=DMARC1"
Here an example what happens with the mail from the log

While the sender should improve their DNS, the mail should still get delivered, or at least bounced.
