Google is apparently happier when you authenticate domain ownership in their Postmaster Tools, which is a simple matter of adding a TXT record to the DNS.

OK, I finally added a SPF record, I hope this didn't break anything.

However, I wonder what exactly I authorize by adding that Postmaster Tools entry? All it confirms that the guy who controls the DNS records can use a Google web page?

(...ok, and it probably proves that the guy who controls the DNS records is the same one who logged in to youtube with this browser 10 years ago...)

I also changed the mails to use "https" instead of "http" links a few weeks ago; from what I read, "http" will also deduce a few points in the trustworthiness rating.
