Yesterday, I forgot to check for a SPF record. Here it is:

dig +short txt _spf.google.com.
"v=spf1 ip4:216.239.56.0/23 ip4:64.233.160.0/19 ip4:66.249.80.0/20
ip4:72.14.192.0/18 ip4:209.85.128.0/17 ip4:66.102.0.0/20 ?all"

Instead of using *.google.com we could use all the relevant ip addresses,
or use both.

I have put the ip networks, I sent yesterday, in our
clients_ip_whitelist.local and we received a lot of news alerts.
