Yes, the SPF record on your own domain doesn’t have a direct impact
here, as the sending domain is the sender’s one (so for exemple, mine).
Now if I send an email to you.space, gmail will see a mail from
swordarmor.fr. So, it’ll look at my SPF, which states that my MXes plus
a machine are allowed to send this email.
alarig@pikachu ~ % dig +short -t TXT swordarmor.fr
"v=spf1 mx a:kaiminus.swordarmor.fr -all"
alarig@pikachu ~ % dig +short -t MX swordarmor.fr
20 msi.no.swordarmor.fr.
10 edrik.securmail.fr.
alarig@pikachu ~ % host edrik.securmail.fr
edrik.securmail.fr has address 45.91.125.3
edrik.securmail.fr has IPv6 address 2a0e:f41:0:1::3
edrik.securmail.fr mail is handled by 10 edrik.securmail.fr.
alarig@pikachu ~ % host msi.no.swordarmor.fr
msi.no.swordarmor.fr has address 45.91.126.1
msi.no.swordarmor.fr has IPv6 address 2a0e:f42::1
alarig@pikachu ~ % host kaiminus.swordarmor.fr
kaiminus.swordarmor.fr has address 89.234.186.215
kaiminus.swordarmor.fr has IPv6 address 2a00:5884:102:1::7
But, the last mail-hop will be your VPS, so you break SPF.
SRS will rewrite the envelope to make the email originated by your
domain instead of mine, to look at your SPF instead of mine.
That being said, I would avoid aliasing my email to gmail. Because they
are a bit quick to trigger spam, but most importantly because they have
a very questionable ethic.

aremiti36.vps.bitfolk.com but how would I do that?
