Section 10.3. says:

Everything about it..

Notes:

DMARC relies on inspecting header information. This section suggestion is not allowed by rfc5321 and contradicts it:

...a relay SMTP has no need to inspect or
act upon the header section or body of the message data and MUST NOT
do so except to add its own "Received:" header field..

So the correct behaviour shoud be only the second option - 2xy and decide what to do after that being silent or not.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
The reporter has quoted from the wrong section of RFC 5321, and that that section does not discuss Message Submission Servers.
