The recent bug report, Bug #65934: rcvdist runs afoul of gmail DMARC/DKIM/ARC 
policies, could use some discussion here, I believe.

Here are the contents of the bug (https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?65934):

    I have been using slocal and rcvdist for many years to forward filtered 
mail to a private gmail address.  But their recent enforcement of DKIM/DMARC 
policies is causing many (most?) such messages to be bounced, since my SMTP 
server doesn't match the From: address in the message.  I regard this behavior 
as a feature of rcvdist, since the incoming message appears to be from the 
original sender.  But I acknowledge that this use case is not easy to 
distinguish from spam.

    Is there a workaround here?  Perhaps a switch (or user customization via 
rcvdistcomps) to allow a modified from line along the lines of "Original Sender 
<local address>"?  Or is rcvdist no longer the right tool for this purpose?

    Suggestions for alternatives welcome, especially those suitable for a 
.maildelivery file.

    Thanks. 

Thoughts?

David
