Do you have a copy of the message as received by the mailing list? And
a copy of the email as distributed by the mailing list?
Does the later still validate the DKIM signature?

Sometimes, in spite of our expectations, messages *are* modified in the
middle.
Perhaps the incoming message had overlong lines that are being split.
Or it missed a Message-Id and was thus added a new one...


Plus, obviously, Mimecast might be doing something different to what
one would expect...
