Your complaint would be better directed at the consortium of Email
providers,
including Google and Yahoo, who forced DMARC on the IETF; or rather
entirely
by-passed the IETF and put this Rube Goldberg hack into play
regardless. The
people who run mailing lists screamed blue murder but it happened
nonetheless.
If this is something caused by google and not your own server settings that indicate how to treat forwarders, why doesn't email originating from gmail have the same issue?

I guess the upside to all these .... feedback is I learnt something about standards, and how futile they can be sometimes.
Yeah we've followed the RFCs, yes there's DMARC serving its own purposes, yes there's some mangling and yes there's a fix for it, but if the main party (RH in this case) refuses to budge, shit remains broken. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone but I'm not surprised why we haven't colonised mars yet.
I personally find it annoying that James is getting stuffed into spam box _all_ the time, but with all these explanations I've gotten I think I got the better end of the bargain.
