Sometimes, a couple of mails towards GMAIL get discarded. The reason is:

<gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com #5.7.26 smtp; 550-5.7.26 This mail is unauthenticated, which poses a security risk to the 550-5.7.26 sender and Gmail users, and has been blocked. The sender must 550-5.7.26 authenticate with at least one of SPF or DKIM. For this message, 550-5.7.26 DKIM checks did not pass and SPF check for [domain] did not pass 550-5.7.26 with ip: [xxxxxxxx]. The sender should visit 550-5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication for 550 5.7.26 instructions on setting up authentication. f8-20020a05600c4e8800b003f812b84978si7192158wmq.99 - gsmtp>'

I checked on MXtoolbox, and SPF and DKIM work properly..

On Google Postmaster tool, i can see that for a couple of days in this month gmail didnt recognize our SPF and DKIM, now it says it's ok, but some mails still get rejected. About 3 out of 100 mails to gmail get rejected.

What could be the reason?
Anyone had something similar happen?
Thanks..
