I received that as:

   From: Alessandro Vesely <[email protected]>

If I try to write to that address directly, it goes like so:

     mail1.iecc.com [64.57.183.56]:
 >>> RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
 <<< 553 5.1.1 Not an acceptable address.

That makes sense, if we agree that p=reject addresses are meant to be
non-interactive, at least not in an automated fashion.  So, appending
.DMARC.FAIL is just an alternative to appending .INVALID; a better
one, since the latter (as the name says) makes for invalid domains.

Are other people welcome to use dmarc.fail that way?  It is going to
cost some more traffic, but maybe will bring statistic data if used
properly.  I'd suggest explaining that topic at http://dmarc.fail/...
