You may just be lucky. Normally, they want at least DKIM and SPF
records and you might still be greylisted.
Yes, I did need to create SPF records in my DNS, but aside from that,
nothing else. I didn't need DKIM. I also make sure there are no open
relays, of course.
It may be relevant that you, me, and everyone else who has been
running their own mail since the 90's have benefitted from having
started before the mail universe was centralized to a few behemoths
who have now learned to be suspicious of new entrants. Google and MS
have had a long time to learn to accept your mail and my mail.
True, but I also highly doubt that any of the big players have the
slightest idea that small players such as us even exist.
