Yes, "this is a feature".

We don't want our employees exchanging emails with people outside of our 
infrastructure.

Subject: [dmarc-discuss] How to avoid messages rejection because of DMARC when 
sent through Gmail alias?


Many people add ' another email address as alias 
'<http://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en&ctx=mail&authuser=1> for 
their Gmail accounts - talking here about public Gmail not Google Apps - and 
they may use Gmail server not their domain servers as SMTP with the ' Treat as 
an 'alias' setting 
'<http://support.google.com/mail/answer/1710338?ctx=gmail&hl=en&authuser=1>. 
While DMARC not causing any problems with "none", It causes messages be 
rejected by servers like Hotmail, Yahoo and others when sent by Gmail using 
"another address" because of DMARC p="reject" or p="quarantine".

Here's an example for rejected message:

Rejected By Yahoo
=========================

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for
the recipient domain ymail.com<http://ymail.com/> by 
mta6.am0.yahoodns.net<http://mta6.am0.yahoodns.net/>. [98.136.216.26].

The error that the other server returned was:
554 5.7.9 Message not accepted for policy reasons.
See http://postmaster.yahoo.com/errors/postmaster-28.html

Rejected By Hotmail
=========================

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>

Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for
the recipient domain msn.com<http://msn.com/> by 
mx3.hotmail.com<http://mx3.hotmail.com/>. [65.55.37.72].

The error that the other server returned was:
550 5.7.0 (COL0-MC1-F8) Unfortunately, messages from (209.85.216.195) on
behalf of (any-domain-com) could not be delivered due to domain owner
policy restrictions.


Although the efficiency of DMARC record we still can't do any workaround except 
asking receivers to whitelist these servers as “known forwarders” which is not 
a solution!

Anyone knows another way to keep using such a feature at Gmail with DMARC 
reject and quarantine policies?

The SPF for the domain is set to don't allow all others:
=============================================

Domain SPF v=spf1 mx include:somehost.net<http://somehost.net/> -all (same when 
used ~all or even inclode:_spf.google.com<http://spf.google.com/>)

somehost.net<http://somehost.net/> SPF ip4:1.2.3.4 ip4:5.6.7.8 -all

The DKIM & SPF for both domain and host used to receive pass result and 
messages used to reach Yahoo and Hotmail until the "reject" policy set for 
DMARC of the domain.

When I change "treat as an alias" in Gmail to "Use Domain SMTP servers" it 
sends normally for sure.

Same thing happening with Yahoo custom From account ... other providers bounce 
back messages.
