As far as I understand, for DMARC to be valid, the enveloppe sender address and 
the header From needs to have the same domain. There are possibilities to allow 
or restrict subdomains. So if the domains are different (amazonses.com != 
firstdata.com), DMARC can't be valid. Regardless of what's written in the DMARC 
record, or if SPF and/or SPF are valid.

Best,
Laurent
