I'm not asserting that a message has any rights to enter your network. I'm
a firm believer in the concept of "your network, your rules".

If you have a rule that you will apply the DMARC mechanism regardless of
whether or not a DMARC policy exists for a domain, then you are seemingly
implementing a policy of "no auth, no entry" (and you are well within your
rights to do so) but you are not following the DMARC protocol when doing so.
