And just to add on a data point (Bill, I know you're not the enemy here), one of my personally-maintained mail servers does TLS and the other doesn't, I do have proper reverse DNS but used not to, and while I have SPF I've never done DKIM, and I've never had any trouble getting mail to Gmail. The only conclusion I can draw is that Google is arbitrary and doesn't care and I'm one of the rare beneficiaries of their arbitrariness. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckai...@floodgap.com -- Roger Waters, orthopaedist: "Hey!
