Ian Eiloart:
Unless the intermediary co-operates by re-signing, mailing lists can break 
DKIM signatures. Since mailing lists generally use their own rfc5321 return 
paths, SPF failures should not result. Of course, a broken DKIM signature 
is equivalent to none at all. You should not reject or discard mail on this 
basis, but you do lose the ability to assign signer domain based reputation 
to the message.

Unless the intermediary co-operates with SRS, or similar, *forwarding* can 
result in SPF failure. Since forwarders generally don't change the message 
content, DKIM signatures should remain intact.

Please do not confuse mailing lists with email forwarding. The two
are different things. It is not helpful to take an argument from
one context and use that to "prove" a point in the other context.
