Raf,
Im confused by this, i thought as long as either dkim or spf passes then dmarc passes. But i still see dmarc fails.

  Envelope-From: dovecot-boun...@dovecot.org
  Header From: some...@netcourrier.com

  DKIM: bad signature data
  DMARC: SPF(mailfrom): dovecot.org pass
  DMARC: netcourrier.com fail

Shouldn't dmarc pass with the good SPF?

Not with the MailFrom domain that doesn't align to the header From address.

Domain alignment is essential to DMARC. DMARC always refers to the From header domain. SPF validates the envelope sender (MailFrom) domain. DKIM can validate any domain, even one not used anywhere else in the message. For DMARC to succeed, the From header domain must align with a domain whose validation mechanism succeeds.
