John,

My apologies, I appear to have misinterpreted this completely, not sure what I 
was thinking:

  *   DMARC reports are sent to the address specified in the DMARC record 
associated with the 5322.From address, not the source IP addresses.
  *   Therefore, these reports are sent to you because the 5322.From header 
contains an akamai.com address.
  *   The examples that you're citing showing a 5321.MailFrom address (with SPF 
pass) and DKIM d= domain (with DKIM pass) that are aligned with each other. 
This suggests either (a) a message sent legitimately by yourselves and 
legitimately forwarded or (b) an impersonation, also legitimately forwarded. It 
is to be hoped that Google's DMARC reports preferentially report on 
DMARC-aligned DKIM passes if they're present, suggesting that the messages in 
question are passing through DKIM-breaking forwarding (case (a)) or lack DKIM 
signatures (hopefully case (b)).

I'm guessing that you'd already worked this out.


The forwarding cases are the awkward corner case for DMARC. As a domain 
owner/registrant there's probably not much that you can do about this. Someone 
like PayPal can, because of the stakes involved, stipulate that users (a) 
provide an end-address and (b) not forward it. I don't imagine that you're in a 
position to do so. ARC goes some way to helping receivers make better 
decisions, but that doesn't give you much to work with.


Is there email sent legitimately with an @akamai.com email address that isn't 
from an Akamai employee or automated system? If so, are the stakes high enough 
that you're in a position to direct employees to avoid using their work email 
addresses for mailing lists? (This won't solve the problem, but may 
significantly reduce it.) Are you able to quantify the damage being done at 
present? (If not, stop work on this now!)


- Roland

That was just a random example.   The IPs are all Google.  These are not 
forwarded within my environment.


First couple from literally thousands of Google IPs:
IP      PTR Name        SBRS    Country DMARC Fail %    DMARC Fail      Total
2607:f8b0:4003:c06::247 mail-oi0-x247.google.com (IPv6)         99.96%  2,847   
2,848
2607:f8b0:4003:c06::245 mail-oi0-x245.google.com (IPv6)         99.96%  2,792   
2,793
2607:f8b0:4003:c06::246 mail-oi0-x246.google.com (IPv6)         100.00% 2,769   
2,769
2607:f8b0:4003:c06::248 mail-oi0-x248.google.com (IPv6)         99.96%  2,673   
2,674


Drilling into that first one and again, just taking the first couple because 
it’s just more of the same with many different domains:

Domain  MAIL FROM       DKIM domain     SPF Auth        DKIM Auth       Total
akamai.com      kohls.com       kohls-com.20150623.gappssmtp.com        Pass    
Pass    369
akamai.com      stickyads.tv    stickyads.tv    Pass    Pass    256
akamai.com      jforce.com.tw   jforce-com-tw.20150623.gappssmtp.com    Pass    
Pass    238
akamai.com      ziffdavis.com   ziffdavis-com.20150623.gappssmtp.com    Pass    
Pass    205



There are no RUFs generated, only RUAs.

As an example of why this is a problem for me… Yesterday out of 53,078 DMARC 
failures, 49,101 were from Google IP space.  I can’t even find the 4,000 other 
failures amongst all the Google ones to see if they’re things I need to worry 
about or not!

I’d love to understand either why I’m so special in this regard, or if I’m not 
how others are dealing with this.   We do use Google Apps (just not mail), and 
a lot of our customers are Google mail customers, so I really don’t want to ask 
Agari to filter out reports from Google - but I’m at my wits end with this.
