Hi Sebastian,

maybe I'm missing the point, because I didn't follow the gory details of
the discussion.

Do you want safely forward messages that are "protected" by DMARC (as
DKIM | SPF) originating outside of your server?

If you replace the original From: by the forwarder's From:, then the
final recipient can't verify the the authenticity of the message.
(Broken DKIM, absent SPF).

If you need to foward, then either at the MUA level, or if you do it on
the MTA level, use SRS to rewrite the sender information (return path).
Yes, this breaks the alignment betwenn From: and Sender:, but DKIM
should be still intact and allow the recipient a successful
verification.

I may be completly wrong with my assumptions about your issue, though.

Because you changed the "origin" of the message, didn't you?
