checked your dkim signing, it have signed 2 Date headers, 2 From, 2 
Subject, solve this :=)

and you have simple in C= tag, please check double signed headers

it does not dkim pass in perl Mail::DKIM test in spamassassin

this comes from dkim signing ALL mails not just ORIGINATED emails, 
maillist should really stop sign emails, and only do the ARC sealing and 
ARC sign it

if maillist send ORIGINNATING emails it should be signed as dkim and not 
ARC sealed

its common sense imho

too many headers signed makes dkim break

altering will happend hopefully AFTER ARC sealing, so it still can be 
verify from ARC that the originated email did pass or fail in someway, 
in that case it works as designed

tell dmarc to not test maillists, but it should pass so no need
