What won't help is sitting on the sidelines and whinging that the "DMARC

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.
