From the latest DMARC draft, section 8:

"If the RFC5322.From domain does not exist in the DNS, Mail Receivers
SHOULD direct the receiving SMTP server to reject the message."

So if a receiver that is implementing DMARC is faithful to the draft,
that won't work very well (nobody has gotten a TLD allocation for
.invalid, I hope?)
