Case in point: <steve@[personaladdressremoved]> (expanded from <[email protected]>): host ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM[142.251.15.27] said: 550-5.7.26 This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM. 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 Authentication results: 550-5.7.26 DKIM = did not pass 550-5.7.26 SPF [bradfords.org] with ip: [198.1.94.68] = did not pass 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 For instructions on setting up authentication, go to 550 5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication k15-20020a056902070f00b00daf59ad96b6si1994693ybt.406 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command) SPF is a terrible mechanism. DKIM isn't much better. What a wasteland Gmail has become. Of all the domains that I send email to, Gmail is the only one that gives any grief. If Gmail really had any interest in serving their users they wouldn't take such a hard line regarding SPF and DKIM. Makes me wonder who their "customers" really are...
