 * The test message gets sent properly, but in Gmail, it says:
 * “Gmail couldn’t verify that mysite.com actually sent this message (and not a 
   spammer).”
 * And they link to this page: [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/180707?visit_id=637094263164261794-1462003753&p=email_auth&hl=en&rd=1](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/180707?visit_id=637094263164261794-1462003753&p=email_auth&hl=en&rd=1)
 * What to do?

 * KnownHost is my host. To clarify, I’m sending from there – not using Gmail.
 * The error I shared is what the recipient of the email sees when they receive 
   it in Gmail. Here are some images to show you what I mean: [https://www.google.com/search?q=Gmail+couldn%E2%80%99t+verify+that+actually+sent+this+message+(and+not+a+spammer)](https://www.google.com/search?q=Gmail+couldn%E2%80%99t+verify+that+actually+sent+this+message+(and+not+a+spammer)).&

 * Hi, thank you for clarifying your issue further. Have you spoken to your host
   about this issue? It might be related to your server settings. Let me know what
   they say.
 * Kind regards
