DMARC policy and email redirecting

Paul has recently been talking about looking for new email clients and issues he has had losing emails when they are redirected. He mention it being related to going through multiple spam filters but I believe it may have more to do with DMARC policy settings that certain email providers have set. I had some issues with this a few years ago and could no longer redirect emails I received from people using Yahoo, AOL, and a few other email services. I was able to figure out a work around but that was specific to the email provider I was redirecting from. This was a few years ago so maybe something has happened in the mean time so this is no longer a problem but thought it was worth mentioning.

    <p>That could be. From my end, I guess the point is that I lose email when I do this, whatever the real reason.</p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#403132">In reply to paul-thurrott:</a></em></blockquote><p>Yes, the only thing that really matters that you were losing emails. If the problem is with <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">DMARC policy settings, you might be able to find a work around to still get email delivered but might not be worth the hassle if you have found something else that meets your needs. </span></p>
