Aside from the question in the subject, because I see this brought up a
lot on the mailing list in relation to email forwarding, would passing
ARC signatures even matter when the problem is that Google is
increasingly rejecting forwarded emails due to the DMARC policy of the
original sender domain?
We've had great results for a long time just using SRS. I know how some
of you feel about it, but using the tools in front of me, SRS has done
the job. But now that Google is pushing DMARC harder, more and more
domains are setting their DMARC policy to reject, and Google appears to
at least be enforcing this more than before. From the look of it, we can
no longer forward emails from Yahoo to Gmail:
550-5.7.26 Unauthenticated email from yahoo.com is not accepted due to
domain's DMARC policy. Please contact the administrator of yahoo.com
domain if this was a legitimate mail. To learn about the DMARC
initiative, go to https://support.google.com/mail/?p=DmarcRejection

Is it time to throw in the towel on email forwarding? Nearly 100% of
users who forward email do so because they want it in Gmail. POP3 fetch
has it's own concerns (local to local mail imported over POP3 fails SPF
on import and gets filtered to spam). I'm quite skeptical that ARC fixes
anything but theory and how people wish it was (or hope for it to be)
trusted.
