This is not DKIM. it is SPF. external-company.com publishes an SPF
record that doesn't allow myserver.com as a sender. Start at
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework> to learn more
about SPF.

There are two solutions to this. The

Return-Path: mailman-boun...@external-company.com

header indicates that mailman-boun...@external-company.com is the
envelope sender of the message and SPF is based on the domain of the
envelope sender.

solution 1). external-company.com can augment its published SPF record
to designate your myserver.com server as a permitted sender.

solution 2). Your mail relaying process can rewrite the envelope sender
to your domain, e.g., campa...@myserver.com or some other appropriate
@myserver.com address. This will break mailman's automated bounce
processing for mail from mailman-boun...@external-company.com that is
relayed by you, but if you can verify the deliverability of that mail
before relaying it and if it's not deliverable, reject it before
rewriting the envelope sender, that won't be an issue.
