What matters is the definitions published by the owners of the domains

Unfortunately MARID encourages sites to define bogus policies, because
they can only describe the first part of a message's journey (up to the
border of the originating organization), and it is very difficult for a
recipient site to implement checks that accommodate all the possibilities
in the rest of the message's journey.
