No it doesn't.

Isn't it overkill to put both DKIM /and/ ARC if you know the receiver

I don't think so.

DKIM proves that you did send it.
ARC proves that you forwarded what you received ?


without trustness ?

ARC-signer/ARC-Sealers have to be trusted, to make any different

is arc btw ensure tested in dmarc ?, trustness or ?


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.


gmail users should stop using gmail, problem solved


I am not sure that ARC is supposed to do what we think it is.


if you run all without trustness nothing works
