i'm the sender. i'm hoping that dmarc can help me convince receivers not to
put emails coming from my mail server into their spam folder.
if i implement dkim, would it guarantee that receivers won't treat my
emails as spam?
and by the way, is forwading bad? i see some forwarding in my dmarc report
from google and yahoo. what does forwarding here mean? spoof email ?
does the term "forwarding" in the report means that an email sent from my
mail server to someone at domain B was then forwarded to someone else at
domain C ?

regards,
gregor
