Gmail rejects my outgoing (homestead) e-mails

Many times - but not all times - I get a bounce-back from a gmail address stating "this e-mail is unauthenticated". I then get a link to a google site that gives this advice: "Important: Starting November 2022, new senders who send email to personal Gmail accounts must set up either SPF or DKIM. Google performs random checks on new sender messages to personal Gmail accounts to verify they’re authenticated. Messages without at least one of these authentication methods will be rejected or marked as spam. This requirement doesn’t apply to you if you’re an existing sender. However, we recommend you always set up SPF and DKIM to protect your organization’s email and to support future authentication requirements."

Will Homestead do this for me as my guess is that this is more of a Homestead issue than a personal-to-me issue.

Hello,

Can you go ahead and try once more? I have updated the TXT SPF record for your domain which should allow it to begin working properly.

Hello,
I can see that the records have already been updated for this domain.
Sometimes, on shared hosting where many customers use the same email servers, they get detected as contributing to spam and unnecessarily get blacklisted by a few recipient email servers and RBLs. We do have a system in place that monitors our mailout server IPs for their reputation at RBLs that sends out reports periodically. Our Network Operations team rotates the blocked IPs automatically and that should resolve any blocks our servers may have, given time. We do recommend trying to resend the bounced emails.
Additionally, we have already informed our engineering team regarding this issue and our engineers are working towards a fix on increasing the reputation. I'm afraid we do not have an ETA on this. We appreciate your patience while we resolve this issue.

Having the same issue trying to send QuickBooks invoices from the desktop software using my domain email to any Gmail account. These are sent via eigbox.net. My domain is haydenbookkeeping.com. Can this be added to my SPF record?

Hello,

You have both Homestead and Google records for email on that domain. Are you using Roundcube/Homestead or Google Workspace?

Google Workspace. I did a test transaction and it seems to work, but it does mark it as potentially unsafe.

OK, if you're using Google Workspace outside of your Homestead account, then your MX records pointing to Homestead may be causing issues. Would you like me to delete those records?

I am having the same issue. If mine can be fixed I would really appreciate it. I have many Gmail accounts I communicate with and almost all are bouncing back.

Thank you,

@elyzabethv Still having trouble. Here is what my setting says. Can you tell me what I need to change in my settings?

Airport Antiques & The Furniture Lady <info@pendletonfurniturelady.com>

Mail is sent through: smtp.homestead.com

Secured connection on port 465 using SSL

or is there someplace else that I need to look at to change?

Thanks for helping get this fixed as it is getting very frustrated.
