Yup, that's basically what I've been doing.

I built email servers for a non-profit I volunteer for.  If email

presidents_real_em...@gmail.com.


postfix supports expand_owner_alias, which, when you are sending to 
al...@example.com, will set sender to owner-al...@example.com.


That way SPF should pass.

The problem is, when I send email to presid...@myassociation.org, 
gmail rejects the forwarded email because it appears to come from my 
personal domain, not the mythical myassociation.org domain.  DKIM, 
DMARC, and SPF all fail, which I totally understand.


How can I make this work?


DKIM should not fail, unless you modify the message. Do you modify the 
message?

Cite:


If your dkim signature is OK, then Gmail does accept all
mails. So never use SRS. DKIM is enough.


This is not a good advice. Whoever filters SPF at SMTP time will reject 
that message. Gmail is not the only mail service available.


Initially, I was seeing errors where GMail didn't list SPF as "passed." 
But after about an hour, it started passing. I think it was an old DNS 
record that finally expired.


The forwarded email is being *accepted* by GMail. My issue now is that 
GMail drops it into the recipient's spam folder. I suspect it's a 
reputation thing. Once the server is up and running for a while, I'm 
hoping that GMail will stop flagging the emails from the server as spam.

The issue is not so much that GMail doesn't accept the email. It does, 
since I have DKIM, DMARC, and SPF set up.


But it drops it into the spam folder every time. So when I'm sending 
emails to someone's alias, they have to check their spam folder. Even 
when they mark it as "not spam," GMail still drops it into the spam 
folder. It's very frustrating.

I rely on DNSWL for the reputable MX.


if repution is 100% needed we all have to make local rescore on all 
local mails, since repution is to be local, not external just


i consider dnswl level 0 to be possitive scored, and let the other 
levels be negative, this fits nicely, but was not designed to be so in

Actually i used Google MX for 10 years. Recently, i created dedicated
MXs and am continuing to operate them. Plus, the dedicated MXs run on
Google Cloud and RimuHosting.


it was to vierd for me to figure out how to get it working, and posible 
in the long run also too expansive, one of the problems i spoted is no 
dnssec, who will accept this in 2024 ?


i have considered also prothonmail and fastmail, just to name other, i 
lost prothon with loosed the mails on the account, lost the private key, 
so learned in the hard way


for me host own servers is best for me with gentoo, no precompiled 
problems at all



I terminated my Google Workspace commercial account. 2 years ago.


not needed anymore ?, or just too expansive ?, minimal one could have a 
own mta, and then relay with sasl auth to gmail, so this way gmail is 
just mailstorage, and the reverse is in gmail to use external mta, if i 
do anything, i might try it
