In response to an issue one of our contacts had with forwarding a CiviMail, I tried to reproduce their error. But I've found another issue I'd like to share with you all.

I got CiviCRM to forward the email using the same URL the contact did. (That person has a Yahoo address.) I entered my email address which forwards to a Gmail address. Here is the Google server's complaint (extracted from our server's email log and prettied up) ...

550-5.7.1 Unauthenticated email from yahoo.com is not accepted due to domain's 550-5.7.1 DMARC policy.
Please contact administrator of yahoo.com domain if 550-5.7.1 this was a legitimate mail.

It seems that CiviCRM is trying to send this email FROM the yahoo.com account of our contact.

Is this wise? Are CiviCRM sites going to get a reputation as spammers if we send email FROM other domains? Thoughts?
