   From: chris@cdixon.me.uk   
      
   I use Forte Agent to send email, via Virgin's mail servers, with   
   replies forwarded via my own domain email address.   
      
   I have set up the Gmail app password, which has been working   
   fine, but am now getting bounce messages like this:   
      
   >Action: failed   
   >Final-Recipient: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   
   >Status: 5.0.0   
   >Remote-MTA: dns; gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com   
   >Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550-5.7.26 Your email has been blocked because the   
   sender is unauthenticated.   
   > 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or   
   DKIM.

   The IP address varies in different messages, all allocated by   
   Virgin's mail server, and clearly not unique to me.   
      
   I have read the various pages of instructions, including one on   
   my host:   
      
      
   but find myself totally unable to understand exactly what to do.   
   It also seems like trial and error is not a good way to go, if I   
   correctly understand that updated entries can take up to 48 hours   
   to propagate.   
      
   If I send directly from Virgin's online mail page, there are no   
   issues.
