[Note that I'm replying to add a datapoint or two to this whole thread, rather 
than to just one person's comments.  (The in-reply-to header has to be set to 
something, it might as well be the first post).]

To add to a long (looong) thread, let me add something indecipherable, but it 
requires looking at an image from google postmaster tools:

According to this graph, for the past many, many days, we've had 100 percent 
SPF and DKIM compliance with all messages we send.

But by the same graph, our dmarc compliance is all over the place.  DMARC has 
no headers it adds to outbound mail, our record hasn't changed in months.  If 
*either* SPF or DKIM validate 100 percent of the time, my DMARC should also be 
100 percent, no?

Is this because some machine under (our org) is sending invalidated mail for 
other domains, but for all mail received with a From: header of that org, 
everything looks good?  (Like a listserv would do).

If so, that's graphing two RADICALLY different things on the same misleading 
graph.  (Also, the graphing algo hides the dmarc line behind the SPF line, 
c'mon google, you're smart enough to figure out how to overlap those lines 
visibiy).

If this is our mailman lists causing this stupidity, does it make sense to 
stuff those under a secondary domain and a distinct /24 and /48?

Related, looking at dmarcian, we're having a bunch of chinese ipv4 addresses 
spoof us and attempt to send to google, but those also fail SPF *and* DKIM.  
We're a very old (older than gmail), short-named domain so it might make us 
attractive, but *none* of that spoofing shows in that google graph either.

I'm trying to play the correct game here, but Google postmaster tools shows no 
ipv6 addresses when I click on "ip reputation", and until the issues a month 
ago, that was all we did.  We've been dual stack for over a decade (although 
gmail hasn't).

Things simply do not correlate.
