Hello,

I like to point to a more general approach.
The DMARC specs knows "local policy overrides". In fact this patch is  
such a override.
But as a result my MTA would deliver messages from *ALL* domains with  
p=quarantine if DMARC fail.
OK, I could filter on the A-R Header. But that does not look like the  
best choice.
Aggregated reports sent back to the domain owner don't know about such  
postprocessings and may
report wrong delivery results.

 From that perspective I would like to see lookup tables integrated in  
OpenDMARC.
Lookup key may be the signingdomain, lookup value may be a local  
policy override.

I know this would be a huge amount of coding work to implement that.
On the other side there is still such code: IgnoreMailFrom and IgnoreHosts
( IgnoreHosts is more comfortable because I could also reference a  
separate file )
But it's there.

So instead of simply pass *ALL* messages that would be quarantined otherwise
I think a solution that act also depending on the signingdomain is  
more valuable.
