Hi Benoit,

Short answer - you can't. DMARC is simply not designed to facilitate any
type of address re-writing or forwarding.

As Vladimir points out, DKIM can sometimes prevail after an email is
forwarded, but it can't be assumed. Plus, that DKIM signature must be
already working and aligned to the original sending domain. 

DMARC also breaks mailing lists. Mailman "gets around" DMARC by re-writing
the From address to be that of the list and putting the original sender in
the Reply-To. Fine for mailing lists, not so fine for one-to-one emails
etc.

There is an emerging mechanism called ARC (http://arc-spec.org/) which
addresses this restriction in DMARC to some degree in certain cases. Many
providers, including Google, are already trialing ARC and it is being
actively worked on.

Ken.
