The problem is, when I send email to presid...@myassociation.org,

How can I make this work? Is there a good way to use something like
/etc/aliases to forward emails to the domain I manage to another
recipient? Or is there something better I can do?
You will probably find that forwarding Emails to most systems, including
MSN/Live/Hotmail/Outlook and Yahoo/AOL works OK (for now). But if you
want Vacation/Out-Of-Office/Autoresponders to work to Gmail addresses,
you MUST run DKIM on your managed domain. Even valid SPF alone will NOT
do.
I actually set up SPF, DMARC, and DKIM on the non-profit's email server.
It works fine if I send email from the server.
The rub is, I want all emails to presid...@example.org to be forwarded
to presidents_real_addr...@gmail.com. Since the forward happens at
mail.example.org, the "from" is from some other domain from example.org,
so it fails all the tests.
Implementing DKIM w/ DMARC is a good, if not the best, practice.
Considering present trends, SPF/DKIM/DMARC Auth-neutral will become the
new "bad".
Oh, I firmly agree with you. I have all three services configured, and I
wouldn't deploy a mail server without them. This is just an odd corner
case where the easiest thing to do is just redirect emails to the
non-profit's president's real email address.
Instead of using /etc/aliases, I'm playing around with a procmail recipe
to munge the "from." We'll see if it works.
I apologize this isn't strictly SA related, I am just hoping someone
can give me advice or provide I link to follow on how to make this work.
package: opendkim + access to your managed domain's DNS records.
I agree, and that's already done.
Thanks, sir!
