Update:

I just looked at another record and guessed what it wanted to see. I ended up with

"v=spf1 include:_[my_smtp_server] ~all"

and hey, it worked.

I appreciate this doesn't fix the Hotmail issue, but just wanted to share in case anyone else can use this.

Hey LeonM,

they apparently changed their security settings recently to reject unauthorised emails. This is new.

I can surely set a DKIM and SPF record for my domain, but I have no way of knowing what I should add as the settings, as Gmail isn't asking for it.

I'm not sure this is correct though: > The description that google gives is a bit misleading though:

You can actually send from any third party address, e.g. Yahoo etc. It's literally what their page says. You don't have to own the domain.

See https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en-GB&sjid=2...

I know their previous set up wasn't super safe, but they could have mitigated for this instead of just breaking the feature.

This would be super easy to do, but how do I know what Gmail wants to see?

Same issue here.

Gmail offers this functionality in their own settings. There is no way to add SPF or DKIM records.

So if I use gmail to send using a third-party domain to a gmail address, it bounces.

I guess they forgot that people use the function.

Any hacks found in the meantime?
