Hi Markus,

when i search for 'SPF', i get hits that display "Anti-Spam". That
already rings like a bell in my ears. I don't know exactly either, but
what i understand is, that the recipient's mail server (eggs.gnu.org)
comes to the conclusion that the sender IP is not authorized to send
emails for the domain 'gmx.de', according to the SPF record. But then
the SPF record for gmx could be broken.

For example if i check online for 'gmx.de':
SPF Authentication: SPF Failed for IP - 64.90.62.163

Best regards
