ARC doesn't solve the problem either, because ARC requires trust to be
established between all signers in the chain and receiver of the mesage.
ARC doesn't provide any means to establish this trust. In short: ARC
will only work with the whitelist of known forwarders and it doesn't
contain any means to redistribute or update this whitelist. It's
intended product like OpenARC to be destributed with the whitelist of
known forwarders preloaded.

It's quite sad people misunderstand this fact and believe ARC can
replace DMARC. It can not. ARC doesn't work without DMARC, because ARC
only ads whitelist and tracking functionality to DMARC.

Currently, we have whitelists based on DKIM signatures / IP addresses of
known forwarders, so the profit from ARC is close to zero. It allows to
distinguish between forwarded and locally generated message and is
helpful in the case message is forwarded for multiple times. That's all.

P.S.
Benoit provided the original message - it was a spam message with the
fake address, so it had no DKIM authentication. Forwarding message like
that with SRS to GMail gives negative reputation for both forwarding IP
and authorizing domain (one used for SRS). DMARC filter on forwarding
server could eliminate this problem. No problems are expected for real
message with DKIM authentication in current configuration.
