They really won't tell you. I run into problems with them from time to 
time, they seem to want to only talk to microsoft.com type domains and 
other big email domains. Which is odd because a lot of junk comes from 
them. Maybe they get a cut. Or maybe Gmail just wants you to use it 
instead of anything else.

However setting up SPF records is a very good start. Alembic follows 
DMARC standards by using SPF which is considered a pass by pretty much 
everyone but does not do DKIM (mainly because it's a pain to set up on 
the client).

A good place to start is:

Also helps to do TLS encryption which requires real certs. LetsEncrypt 
is an excellent way to get a trusted cert on your system without paying 
$100's per year.
