Dear mail operators,

A users sends a message to x...@uni-potsdam.de, and the user X there has a forward set up to their y...@gmail.com address. Now smtpin.uni-potsdam.de returns a delivery failure from Google Mail:

    The following message to<y...@gmail.com>  was undeliverable.
    The reason for the problem:
5.3.0 - Other mail system problem 550-'5.7.26 This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated.\n5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM.\n5.7.26 \n5.7.26 Authentication results:\n5.7.26 DKIM = did not pass\n5.7.26 SPF [molgen.mpg.de] with ip: [141.89.64.18] = did not pass\n5.7.26 \n5.7.26 For instructions on setting up authentication, go to\n5.7.26https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication me22-20020a170906aed600b00a5250f9fcf4si1870841ejb.898 - gsmtp'

The SPF of molgen.mpg.de has `~all` (soft fail):

    $ dig txt molgen.mpg.de +short
    "v=spf1 ip4:141.14.0.0/16 ~all"

and I would expect `~all` to result in Google Mail not rejecting the message, when another server is sending emails from @molgen.mpg.de. We do not want to set up DKIM due to the increased message size, and complexity of key handling. Is there an alternative?


Kind regards,

Paul
