spf - How to improve DMARC Compliance?

I've been monitoring our DMARC compliance with policy "p=none" for a month or two using both dmarcian and dmarcanalyzer. I've noticed that when we send a large email marketing campaign (10k+ emails), there is a spike in mail that fails DMARC that seems to be from the campaign.

My company sends marketing emails to our clients using Pardot, and Pardot sends emails using a 5321.MailFrom address with a domain of "bounce.s7.exacttarget.com".
We have set up our DKIM keys properly in Pardot and have SPF records on our domain that allow their servers to send mail on our behalf. I also know that since the Pardot emails are sent from "bounce.s7.exacttarget.com", we'll never be in DMARC alignment for SPF.

So the problem is, if we send 10,000 emails to our clients, I'm only seeing DMARC aggregate report successes (using DKIM) for 1,000-1,500 emails. (I assume its normal for only a percentage of mail servers to send aggregate reports?) And I see a spike of DMARC aggregate report failures for 100-500 emails.

Many of these show DKIM fail for our domain which is puzzling, and many show DKIM fail for a different domain altogether. I've looked up a few of the domains that failed DKIM, and the numbers to those domains seem to match emails that were sent to that domain via our campaign.
This sounds like the email hit a mail server and then was forwarded which broke the DKIM signature.

Does that sound likely to you?

How do I get legitimate marketing emails to our customers to pass DMARC when there may be forwarding going on?

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...
