Moin,
I just got poked by a user that mail delivery for a review system fails
to some users;

Specifically, organizations using cloud-hosted Proofpoint setups
forwarding to google workspace.

Specifically:
- A DKIM signed SPF valid mail is delivered to the MX of example.com;
  These are pp-hosted's servers.
- Proofpoint does as proofpoint does, breaking DKIM
- Proofpoint then relays the message to the final destination: Google
- Google then rejects the message, as it fails DKIM and SPF;

While the domain--generally--has a DMARC policy of p=reject and an SPF
-all, some of the bounces i just received from google read like they
now enforce p=reject globally, regardless of the sender's preferences /
actual policy:

"""
*Email authentication requirements & guidelines*

We require that you set up these email authentication methods for your
domain:

- All senders: SPF or DKIM
- Bulk senders: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
"""

Does somebody have input on which of the following options is the most
sensible one (i kind of dislike most of them):

- Set p=none and ~all; Hope that this is enough for google (doubt; But 
  would appreciate experience reports on this)

- Include the barrage of SPF includes from all major relayers, i.e.,
  pp, gmail/gworkspaces, ms/o365

- Complain on mailop@, hoping to get proofpoint and gmail to agree on 
  trusting each other's ARC signatures if proofpoint breaks DKIM and
  SPF

With best regards,
Tobias
