A DMARC pass verdict requires not only that SPF or DKIM pass, but also that
the SPF or DKIM domain in question align with the DMARC (RFC5322.From)
domain. A message such as the following:

   - Return-Path: <f...@a.net>
   - DKIM domain: b.org
   - From: b...@c.com

Can get an SPF pass for a.net and have its DKIM signature validate, but
still fail DMARC for c.com because neither a.net nor b.org align with c.com.

Can you share the example auth-res header(s) in question along with the
DMARC policy record(s) for the message(s)?
