Not true. If you forward a message with From: <[email protected]>, then it will fail DMARC p=reject, the From: address will not "align" with the forwarding server.

Forwarding alone shouldn't be blowing up messages. If you're doing

or causes the the from address and return path to not be aligned,
that's where you're going to run into problems. If you don't modify
the message in any way while forwarding it on, you shouldn't run into
issues due to DMARC.

I run a number of web sites where users wish to have their e-mail address with 
their own domain name. Some of these users (quite a few) do not read or send 
mail through their web site or via their own domain server; rather they wish 
their mail to be forwarded to a free mail account such as Yahoo! or Gmail.

Of course, the problems encountered with such a configuration have been 
discussed on this list. And, I have independently arrived at a solution I now 
see has been discussed: before forwarding incoming mail, munge the From: header 
to match the forwarding server, and copy the sender’s e-mail address to a 
Reply-To: header. Aside from being extremely ugly -- and problematic on a 
perception level — it is also unworkable when the original sender’s e-mail has 
been signed or encrypted.

With signed or encrypted mail, the sender’s e-mail address no longer matches 
their certificate so the validation fails.

I don’t see any solution to this problem other than abandoning DMARC. 
Unfortunately, a lot of organizations have adopted it, and the community 
suffers as a result. Honestly, I don’t think DMARC was thought-out before it 
was implemented. If I’m wrong, please set me straight and show me a solution.

Thanks,
Paul
