I already have a follow-up question...

My questions above are part of an effort I'm making to figure out why some senders' emails never make it to my inbox, even after I whitelist them.

1 example I just found, via a recent email I *did* successfully receive from them, revealed this header row:

X-Spam-known-sender: no ("Email failed DMARC policy for domain"); in-addressbook

So, it ack's that the address is in my Contacts, but it failed DMARC. I assume this means that the sender doesn't have DMARC config'd properly. Is there anything I can do about that, other than notifying them about their misconfigured DMARC?

I'm suspecting other more recent emails from them aren't arriving to my Inbox, but I'm not sure.

I noticed this row: X-Spam-score: 0.0 , which suggests that even though X-Spam-known-sender/DMARC failed, FastMail is still respecting the Contacts entry and whitelisting it. (To be sure, I added up all the X-Spam-hits weightings and it wasn't 0.0, it was -2.1...)
