Hi Dan,

Hope the rest of the world is treating you decently!

There are a lot of bits and bobs that one has to get right for mail to flow, amongst which:

  - IP -> PTR lookup -> that hostname lookup, and match to IP again
    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward-confirmed_reverse_DNS)
  - SPF
  - DKIM
  - DMARC
  - ARC (for mailinglists)

Seriously spend zero time on ARC. It doesn't work as advertised and is basically snake oil.
