I've read some of the threads here on this topic but I'm still confused.
My case is pretty typical (I would think) in that an outside party using some email account like example @ gmail.com sends an email to an email forwarder address like forwarder @ hostedaccount.com. In this example, hostedaccount.com is hosted on my server. The mail is then forwarded according to the forwarder rules to example @ yahoo.com. Yahoo gets the email and rejects it for DMARC violation because it thinks it was sent from my server which does not host the sender's gmail.com domain. I do understand and accept why that happens.
I have been reading the threads that suggest that I enable Enable Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) Support on my server where the forwarder exists. But if I do this, what would be the sender/from address on the message that the ultimate recipient @ yahoo.com receives (according to my example above)? Could that message then be replied to by the Yahoo recipient in order to reply to the original sender @ gmail.com?
I don't want to enable this for my entire server and then realize that I've caused confusion for my customers that use forwarders because the messages no longer appear to "come from" the person who sent them or they can't determine who sent it (or reply to them) because the sender address has been modified by the server during forwarding.
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
