Hi Oli
A Customer just forwarded me this which is more or less a confirmation that Google (and Sunrise who uses Google Mail Services) do penalize emails from domains with no SPF:
http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=de&answer=33786
"Wenn für Ihre Domain kein SPF-Datensatz vorhanden ist, werden Nachrichten von Ihren Nutzern möglicherweise von einigen Empfängerdomains abgelehnt, da nicht bestätigt werden kann, dass die Nachrichten von einem autorisierten Mailserver stammen."
Is google switzerland reading this list?
Do we really have to start using "v=spf1 +all" to make google accept our emails?
We've had a similar problem with Google Mail - a freshly created domain name for the conference (unknown on the net earlier) - all emails sent to Google Mail ended up in Junk, unless people wrote us first or somehow added to contacts. We didn't do SPF, we didn't do DKIM (unfortunately) either.
But this was highly annoying (our corespondents resorted to use whatever non-Google alternative accounts they have had).
