It’s crucial to recognize that DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an advised security measure that ought to be activated in Google Workspace for your domain. For step-by-step guidance on activating DKIM in Google Workspace, please refer to my articles on ‘Google Workspace (G suite) - Enabling DKIM.’

Interacting with Google links will update the organizer’s calendar and generate an email notification sent by a Google server that spoofs the domain of the invitee. In this case, your domain. Since your domain is protected with DMARC, Google does not technically have permission to send on your behalf, and the email notification delivery fails.

 
These headers demonstrate how the From: header domain is outlook.com, while the SPF and DKIM identifier belong to the organizational domain google.com. In some instances, a bounce may be received if the invitee domain is using a DMARC policy of reject. This can confuse the average user and even email administrators unaware of this behavior.
