Sounds like a job for either the "Allow Non Subscribers to Post" setting
or an Email Integration. The former will will accept all comers, but
requires that all such posts be approved by a moderator.
Just tried this. Ran into a PROBLEM. Emails go into Pending. If I OK them (I forget exact terminology) they go to messages as expected. If I click OK and un-moderate sender, I get a message that the posts were OKed, but that the sender cannot be unmoderated because it is not in the group. The posts then DISAPPEAR!
Am I missing something or should a report a bug?
With an integration moderation is optional, but a basic group can only
have five of them. If I understand correctly each integration accepts
messages only from a single source, established by the first message it
receives.
100+ senders

Sounds like an issue with how you've set it up in Gmail. A manually
forwarded message always takes on your own address as the from. I'm not
so sure about an automatically forwarded message; that might go out
preserving the original sender's address. I haven't tried using that forwarding
feature. Another name for this type of forward is a "redirect", and many
email services no longer support it.
As best I can tell, the setup for both forwarding accounts are contemporaneous and identical.

"We" who? Get unsubscribed from what? If you mean that your funnel gets
unsubscribed from the delivery service it could be a reaction to the
government delivery service setting a DMARC policy forbidding forwarding
of their messages.
Gmail doesn't (normally) reject messages even when the sender has
published "reject" as their policy, but it is possible that Google
groups do. And the delivery service's response to getting a rejection
notice might well be to unsubscribe the addressee.9
Yes, funnel gets unsubscribed. It could be something like DMARC (I am now 20 minutes familiar with it). The sender has a suspicious DNS TXT record that starts "google-site-verification=..."

Thanks,
