Are you getting outright rejects, or is it ending up in Linus's spam
folder?  (Which has happened to me with a PULL request, which is why I
set up DKIM....)

In any case, if you get outright rejects, if you can save the full
e-mail (including headers) in a file, and then put it somewhere I can
download it, I'd much appreciate it.  (I've been having false
positives with MIT's Brightmail anti-spam service, so this problem is,
alas, not unique to Gmail.  So if you want to send me samples which
Gmail has rejected as spam, it's better to put it up on a web or ftp
server, and send me the URL.)

If it ends up in a gmail spam folder, it's best if you can get the
recipient to send me the full e-mail, complete with headers.

The reason why the headers are useful is because we can use these to
hopefully send complaints to the anti-SPAM folks and ask them what's
up with their algorithms.  For example, this was bounced by Gmail
despite the SPF and DKIM pass indications:
