Thank you so much Faisal and Matus for your helpful replies!

Could you elaborate on the „p" and „sp" directive in the DMARC record? I am not 
entirely sure where I did the opposite of what was expected.

„p“ is the behaviour for the top-level domain. „sp“ is for subdomains – and if 
„sp“ is not set, behaviour from „p“ is inherited according to the RFC.

Best,
Mendel
