But that is exactly what happens here, they obviously don't get it at all.

In case you didn't know or realize, what DMARC specifies for p=reject
is actually a real felony crime in Germany (no kidding!), and this may
apply to all over Europe (since the basic idea was spread out all over
europe with a EU directive), unless each individual receipient(!!) has
explicitly opted-in for this to happen.  It should be fairly easy 
to get a cease-and-desist order against European ISPs for blocking
EMail on DMARC p=reject.

It also should stop since it is technically wrong.  It is the tail
trying to wag the dog and some form of company-level bullying.

Get all those stupid MUAs fixed that misrepresent the meaning of rfc5322.From,
and in particular the meaning of rfc5322.From when a rfc5322.Sender is
present in the same message.
