That message did not have a DKIM header ... or was so garbled that we
didn't extract it.

Due to DKIM replay, we may spam reject forwarded messages that DKIM verify
but not SPF, but those would not have that rejection message.

And yes, we are continuing to ramp no auth, no entry.

I'm sure I've had a long explanation on here in the past year, but the
short answer is if the message is not DKIM valid and you're forwarding, you
should rewrite
the MAIL FROM to a domain you own that will SPF authn the message... and
try not to forward spam.
