That seems to indicate that even with wrapping then this would have 
failed (because that would also not have been done). Meaning that I 
would have to either munge all or wrap all emails.

In any case, the sender of the email triggering the issue often sends 
emails to the mailing list (without munging).

Here's an example of the error message:

	<xxx at gmail.com>: host alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[209.85.202.27]
     said: 421-4.7.30 Your email has been rate limited because DKIM

I'm not sure if this indicates that all senders on the mailing list have 
to have DKIM configured for their domains now? This is not the case for 
the From address involved.
