It's common for some mailing lists to not modify the From header and DKIM
sign the mail they send
based on the mailing list domain, not the From domain.  Doing this is not
strictly wrong.

There are also other annoying cases, such as outlook invite accepts which
spoof from addresses on
purpose, which obviously doesn't work well in these scenarios.

Enterprises also often have multiple domains, and not all of them may be
configured on the O365 instance
which is running as the company's outbound relay.

Should they be catching the spam and not DKIM signing it?  It would be
nice, yesl, but
that doesn't mean what they're doing would be wrong if the content wasn't
spam.
