I'm truly trying to find a justification to break DKIM/SPF on a message
after it is sent.
SPF -> You should be aware of all the servers that can be involved in the
message transaction so no excuse to not have them reflected in the SPF
record
DKIM -> The message should only be signed after it is complete and
leaving your controlled environment. Any modification to the message
afterwards is tampering and should not happen.

Nevertheless, if a message is ARC signed then SPF and DKIM results become
irrelevant, right ? So why bother having SPF and DKIM in the first place ?
