Hello Tomki,

Unfortunately not. I am referring to the DMARC result given in the 
"Authentication Results" header of the mail itself:

Authentication-Results: myserver.mysite.com; dmarc=none 
header.from=example.com

According to RFC 7489 "dmarc=none" in this header means:
"No DMARC policy record was published for the aligned identifier, or no 
aligned identifier could be extracted."

And "dmarc=fail" means:
"A DMARC policy record was published for the aligned identifier, and 
none of the authentication mechanisms passed."

The aligned identified published a valid DMARC policy record, none of 
the authentication mechanisms passed and hence I would expect 
"dmarc=fail" instead of "dmarc=none".

Kind regards
Stefan
