The new comments on the Python bug tracker also go to spam. I investigated the 
mail further, and there are *several* issues there.

First: "Use the same address in the 'From:' header on every bulk mail you send."
- the mail I received from meta tracker registration had

    From: PSF Meta Tracker <metatrac...@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>

but the `Mail From` line and return path had 
`roundup-ad...@psf.upfronthosting.co.za`.

Second: still no SPF record!

Third: "Keep valid reverse DNS records for the IP address(es) from which you 
send mail, pointing to your domain." there needs to be a *reverse*. Well, the 
headers show that the mail was `Received: from psf.upfronthosting.co.za 
([2a01:4f8:131:2480::3])`, which is an address belonging to Hetzner. Well, 
guess what, that IP address does have neither forward nor reverse mapping *at 
all*, that is `host 2a01:4f8:131:2480::3` does not give out PTR record for 
`psf.upfronthosting.co.za` but neither does the domain have an `AAAA` record:

    psf.upfronthosting.co.za has no AAAA record

At this point it would look to google equal to claiming to be sending mail from 
`microsoft.com`.
