DKIM failures and SPF questions

I have sendmail 8.17.1.9 running my personal email accounts. I have set
up DKIM and have specified a DMARC record in my DNS. I have that
configured to send me status emails. My question is why I have so many
failures. The message I get often show failures of DKIM but SPF passes.
There is no explanation why they failed. In the _dmarc record I have
p=quarantine and ptc=100. My SPF record specifies -all.

The failure rate is probably 20% on DKIM and hardly ever on SPF. Do I
need to look for something here?

Thanks,

First and foremost, not sponsored. Those are a few tools I've found out there that helped me troubleshoot these and other problems myself.

https://dkimvalidator.com/
https://easydmarc.com/tools/
https://dmarcian.com/domain-checker/

This might give you some hints on where to look next.

Set up another test server that checks DKIM, SPF and DMARC and check
what those tools report in the logs.

I have also 20% failing, most of this is outlook.com/sendgrid. Seems to
be known
