So first look at messages sent by proper (not fake) senders at "originating.com" as received in your Fastmail account. Look at the full headers (More > Show Raw Messages) for the Authentication-Results header. If DKIM does not pass, then if SPF fails due to forwarding you should get a DMARC failure.Bill
Thanks Bill.
On your advice I had a closer look at the headers.
I had previously looked at the headers but the multiple DKIM reports had me confused.
In a recent test email there were two DKIM results shown: one said DKIM = invalid, and another said DKIM = passed.

On inspection of the DKIM = invalid, and a bit of googling, an issue with the public key was indicated by the search results.
I re-generated the public key & this seems to have solved the problem.

I will keep monitoring to see if the problem really is solved.
Thanks for directing me back to re-investigate the header data.

Thanks also for the info and link to SRS rewriting.
If the redirect results in further DMARC failures, I'll look to implementing this.
