Found a problem with our emails being forwarded via another MTA to Google, which threw the error: 550-5.7.26 This message fails to pass SPF checks for an SPF record with a hard 550-5.7.26 fail policy (-all). It appears that removing the "-all" from our SPF prevents the error, but I am at a loss as to why Google would think a LESS secure SPF is a good thing? TIA!
