[PLUG] Rainloop not liked by gmail...

I'm running my own server, the one this email is coming from. I have DKIM and SPF implemented and they seem to be working.

Seems gmail is not satisfied that my email is "secure" until I pgp encrypt it. Really? My mail client is the PHP based Rainloop.
I'm trying to figure out how to pgp encrypt all emails that I write in the hope of satisfying Google's draconian ideas about security.

Rainloop seems to recommend a third party Javascript tool to do pgp encryption whereas openpgp can probably be installed server
side. I like Rainloop better than RoundCube where Horde framework is a nightmare. Unfortunately, Rainloop seems to be lacking
in important features such as pgp support stock. I'm not too keen on having to try a possibly beta quality project...

I'm beginning to wonder how to use my own domain name and still have email that gmail will accept as "secure"? The whole point of
using your own domain and hosting with a trusted hosting provider is to avoid changing your email address every time you move or
change ISP. I'm also reluctant to give everything to Google. If I run my own server, it isn't Google's.

I suspect that this isn't the case, and that simply DKIM is enough.
A friend of mine went through this recently, and found that google's
documentation is obsolete - he needed to create a stronger key than it said
to get his emails to be accepted.

Michael,

If you test by sending a message to port25.com's verification address
you'll confirm that both SPM and DKIM are working.
