[SAC] [OSGeo] #2750: mail aliases fail anti-spoof measures

I was getting also strange emails from gdal and proj mailing lists... and
now I do not get them any more.
My personal email (from may domain) is redirecting the emails to my gmail
account.

The emails sent by lists.osgeo.org have a big yellow banner that says
"Gmail could not verify that it actually came from lists.osgeo.org. Avoid
clicking links, downloading attachments or replying with personal
information."

In the headers I can see

ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com;
       spf=fail (google.com: domain of
gdal-dev-bounces at lists.osgeo.org does not designate 134.....204 as
permitted sender)

This is happening since March 24th
The thing is that it is only happening with those lists (gdal-dev and
proj).

With sac mailing list it has no problem (apparently). The header is a bit
different

ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1; mx.google.com;
       dkim=pass (test mode) header.i=@osgeo.org header.s=mail
header.b=c0FiFf0V;
       dkim=neutral (body hash did not verify) header.i=@osgeo.org
header.s=mail header.b=AfjBJ1Hn;
       spf=fail (google.com: domain of sac-bounces at lists.osgeo.org
does not designate 134......204 as permitted sender)


What is the difference?

Thanks
