For about 5 days now, i have been successfully receiving several DMARC RUA (aggregate reports) reports from a few ISPs, however i have yet to receive a single RUF message/forensic email, even though the RUA reports do show a few failures. As i only set this up ~6 days ago, no action is being taken (p=none;) , for now.
We did setup SPF , and then DKIM , and finally a day or 2 later, DMARC. I have used 3rd party tools to confirm all 3x are working / no errors.
here is my domain's _dmarc txt record (as retrieved by a 3rd party dns txt lookup tool, to confirm)
lookup: _dmarc.domain1.com (60 min)
result:
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:adminpostmaster@domain1.com; ruf=mailto:emailsec@domain1.com
(i have changed real domain to "domain1.com" , and have verified that there are no typos).
the RUF emailsec@domain1.com is a new, separate email account (using gsuite paid/pro, which is same as all the domain1.com email accounts). I have verified that nothing is in the SPAM folder, and that the emailsec@domain1.com account is working/can receive email from outside domains).
Any ideas? i was thinking im not getting any RUF emails as im using p=none; (and not p=quarantine or p=reject , yet), however i see others questions on here where ppl are using p=none; and are getting ruf emails.
thanks

As mentioned in the comments by @anx, hardly any mailbox hosting service ever sends forensic/failure reports anymore. And for good reason. There are several quality DMARC report visualization services out there that have blogged about the absence of and the reason why, for example: Dmarcian and Valimail.
The Dmarcian blog dates from late 2015, and back then already most email hosting platforms did no longer send forensic/failure reports. My advice would be to ignore this piece of the DMARC pie.
