That's right, except that there are some legitimate tenants who never configure 
their email domain per Microsoft guidance, and those will be false positives. 
An example:

Return-Path: bounces+SRS=2m789=q...@deluxe.onmicrosoft.com
X-MS-Exchange-Authentication-Results: spf=softfail (sender IP is
168.135.115.243) smtp.mailfrom=shopdeluxe.com; dkim=none (message not signed)
header.d=none;dmarc=none action=none header.from=shopdeluxe.com;
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2024 10:53:37 +0000
From: Deluxe Corporation <customerserv...@shopdeluxe.com>
Subject: Your Deluxe Order Has Shipped
X-OriginatorOrg: Deluxe.onmicrosoft.com

Now, one could certainly claim that messages that have no valid DKIM or SPF, 
and which have an "onmicrosoft.com" envelope sender that doesn't match the From 
header, should be rejected to give the sender a hint to fix their stuff. If I 
block this and one of my customers complained, I wouldn't lose sleep over the 
answer being "yeah, ideally that wouldn't have been blocked, but the sender is 
doing a really good job of looking like a spammer in several different ways".

But that's the kind of thing you'll end up blocking.
