FWIW, I agree your recipient is misconfigured. I've seen similar reject
messages that were equally incorrect before, so I'd be curious to know what
implementation it is that gets this wrong.

Option 4:

Add the external IP of the Exchange server to your SPF record:

ip4:a.b.c.d

"v=spf1 mx ip4:a.b.c.d a:linmutprd1.nextedia.com a:www.e-ventory.fr
a:cache.adoc.fr -all"
