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