At presenentcI can no lomger send or forward emails from my plus net account (originally Madasafish and prior that icscotland.net) so, here is the return mail I keep getting as a send error, sorry it is some read.

@giggling Im afraid youve been caught up in googles mandating either SPF and/or DKIM authentication for emails to their free gmail accounts. Neither of these methods are obligatory according to email standards but google have decided unilaterally to require them.

The icscotland.net domain is a legacy one and I'm pretty sure that its not possible to apply either SPF or DKIM authentication to that domain.

Bottom line is, If you want to send emails to gmail accounts, youre going to have to get another email address.

Hi,
Thanks for the answer. Thats Google for you! Had that address for years as well.
Cheers
Kind Regards

Moderator's note by Mike (Mav): The fix has been changed to @MisterW as per message #2.

[#5]

@giggling 

icscotland.net is the only MAAF legacy brand domain which does not have SPF configured.  I have asked if it can be added.  If that happens, given that you send from @icscotland.net, it should fix your issue.

Note that there could be non-obvious ramifications arising out of the above, so it might not happen quickly, if at all.

Hello Townman.
Thankyou for your reply and your work. Here is hoping that things can be fixed eventually.
Kind Regards

@giggling 

Sit tight - SPF for this domain ( @icscotland.net ) should be fixed within 24-48 hours.

[#8 · Accepted solution]

Just checked, the SPF record is now being promulgated, so this should fix your issue sending from @gmail.com from @icscotland.net

Hi Townman,
I have just sent an email from my icscotland accout to my google account.
Thankyou again for you work.
Kind Regards

Great news!!

Might you switch the fix from post #2 to #8 so that others looking for solutions will not be looking towards migrating their service when there is no need to do so?

[#11]

Morning,
Would gladly change the fixed message from #2 to #8; been trying but cannot find a way. Help! 😁

On the post marked as THIS FIXED IT FOR ME under post options the is a “This is not the fix” choice.
