The last URL in the response says something about ARC:
ARC checks the previous authentication status of forwarded messages.
If a forwarded message passes SPF or DKIM authentication, but ARC
shows it previously failed authentication, Gmail treats the message
as
unauthenticated.
Isn't it overkill to put both DKIM /and/ ARC if you know the receiver
implements both?
I don't think so.
DKIM proves that you did send it.
ARC proves that you forwarded what you received ?
In this case GMail can see that you forwarded the mail,
but cannot prove that it really came from the original sender.
I think that this way GMail can reject the email,
or put it in the spam folder, but without blaming you.
I am not sure that ARC is supposed to do what we think it is.
