The reason why is that a lot of email won't have DKIM signatures but will have SPF set for its envelope sending domain. So, when you forward a mail in to gmail, Google will check the SPF record of the envelope sending domain against your IP address, which will fail, and Google will reject it. If you are going to forward mail into gmail you pretty much have to rewrite the envelope sender to be your own domain, so that your own SPF record is checked. That's typically done with SRS. Then you have a different problem in that you absolutely have to make sure you don't forward any spam in to gmail as after SRS any spam will then be marked against the reputation of your domain. All in all, forwarding mail into gmail is highly problematic. Again, this isn't the problem you are seeing here as you said that the email that was rejected was from your domain, not from some other domain, so there is something about your SPF record that Google doesn't like. Perhaps it had cached your old record though? Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
