Hello all,

I have a question regarding third-party email encryption services and DMARC.

For example, when using Cisco CRES the emails contain the From domain of the 
sender and the Return-Path is that of the sender so if they authorize Cisco 
CRES then emails will pass SPF and align with regards to DMARC. Emails contain 
no DKIM signature.

The recipient then replies and again emails go through the CRES servers, the 
From domain is that of the company that replies, the Return-Path is also that 
of the company that replies, however, they will also have to authorize Cisco 
CRES in their SPF in order for DMARC to pass. Again no DKIM. 

The problem is that there are many other email encryption services out there 
and if the sender is using any of them then their recipients must also 
authorize them in their SPF records. This means that if any the sender or 
recipient is in DMARC reject when replying to such emails their emails will be 
rejected.

Has anyone come across this problem before and what have you done to solved it? 
Is using subdomains (in DMARC none policy) for this email communication the 
only way to go for now?
