Hi, reviving this thread as Google's enforcement date is a week away.
Fooled ya! I recently discovered they've been randomly applying the SPF requirement to my own mail for months, and have already made it a hard no in advance of the announced implementation date.
must support one-click unsubscribe
I bet this won't last long. As Mark points out, one-click anything in email is a very bad idea. For one thing, as soon as it gets widely implemented, I'm pretty sure that somebody will write a bot that searches the web for archives of email lists and just goes clicking every unsubscribe link it finds. :-D There are other attacks that would work on naively implemented links.
If we must implement this, we should limit the pain to Gmail (and any other provider who adopts this) by adding one-click unsubscribes only to gmail.com addresses, with a different URL template from the normal unsubscribe URL.
the policy applies to everyone sending over 5k emails daily, whether for marketing or not.
It means whatever Gmail thinks it means.
So I have to update: Friends don't let friends use Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, AOL, Yahoo!, AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, SolarWinds, or Gmail.
