Comment (by leeroy):

 If you use DMARC with a domain using SPF it shouldn't be a surprise you
 get consistent failures as SPF is ip based. Unless you've authorized the
 ip of the exit used for the mail server communications it'll fail because
 SPF must know that ip in advance. Even if you update your SPF records to
 include exits it takes time to distribute the changes. DMARC compliance
 requires either DKIM or SPF+DKIM be used. It definitely sounds like the
 root of DMARC failure reports is your use of SPF on Tor.

 As to whether the reporting is privacy invasive--it's no more invasive
 than using DKIM or SPF without DMARC. They're all DNS based. The goal is
 to improve deliverability. In the least DMARC compliance requires records
 for DKIM so no matter what the receiving mail server is going perform a
 DNS lookup.
