Looking just at your SPF you have currently:
john@knight:~$ host -t txt ianhobson.com
ianhobson.com descriptive text
"google-site-verification=-MkUVtcmPo8CzgFUnQoXcHAFSiofKRazwEANm-Iau_M"
ianhobson.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ~all"
john@knight:~$
There are no hosts listed as being authorised to send e-mails for your
domain. You need "v=spf1 a:mymailserver.wherever.com ~all".
If you send me an e-mail direct I can look at your DKIM configuration.

Hi all,
I am trying (and so far failing miserably) to set my VPS up to handle
mail. It only has to forward mail for about 5 domains.
google is rejecting everything, and I don't understand why.
According to this page https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126 I must
authenticate with EITHER spf or DKIM.
According to https://easydmarc.com/tools/spf-lookup?domain=ianhobson.com
the spf is set up correctly, and it has been for well over the TTL of 1
hour.
However when I send hobson42(a)gmail.com a message, from
ian(a)ianhobson.com, I get the following log entries...

If I read this correctly, spf authentication failed.
The spf entry is TXT, NAME=@ DATA="v=spf1 ~all" no quotes.
Anyone got any idea what might be happening?

Ian
