[ale] Gmail marking ALE as spam?

[Jeff Lightner]

How wide an adoption does SPF really have though?  Are big companies
like Google using SPF as a main determinant as to whether something
should be marked as spam or not?   Do M$-Exchange and Lotus Notes (the
two biggest commercial MTAs) support SPF?

I tried adding ale-bounces at ale.org to my contacts and that hasn't
stopped a few messages seeping into the spam folder.

Thanks to Greg Freemyer for the "in:spam subject:ale" search. That has
helped a lot. 

I looked at the DNS entry for ale.org and I can't see a SPF record. 

One of the "spam" messages had this in it's headers:

Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 82.103.135.68 is neither permitted
nor denied by best guess record for domain of ale-bounces at ale.org )
client-ip=82.103.135.68;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com:
82.103.135.68 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for
domain of ale-bounces at ale.org) smtp.mail=ale-bounces at ale.org

I wonder if creating and adding the SPF record to the ale.org domain
would help?

I wonder if it may have to do with Gmail not being happy with the new
DNS information perhaps?
