Google are bad at SPF and DKIM.

1. I tried responding to a Chromium bug tracker message by email a couple of months ago, and it failed me:
> Unfortunately, your email to create/update an issue was not processed.
> Reason: SPF/DKIM check failed. Please ensure your domain supports SPF (https://support.google.com/a/answer/178723 https://support.google.com/a/answer/178723) and DKIM (https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124 https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124). If your domain does not support them, please use the Google Issue Tracker UI (https://issuetracker.google.com https://issuetracker.google.com).
Trouble is, this is simply not true. My SPF and DKIM are fine. This makes me wonder whether the email ingestion system is simply broken for everyone.

2. I got involved in setting up a Google Workspace for someone a few months back, and the entire tool that their own documentation instructs you to use to check things, https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/ https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/, has been laughably broken for years, sometimes not working at all, but mostly producing misleading nonsense results (e.g. claiming domains have no mail server set up when they do).
Then, to make it even more absurd, the feedback link they give you, https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/main/feedback?toolname=checkmx https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/main/feedback?toolname=c..., iframes https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnlp8u_SE16oVwzog_hVa31EgPwXuqqeRkP9mFruqfegGG8Q/viewform?entry.1425347930=checkmx https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdnlp8..., but you haven’t been allowed to iframe such documents for I don’t know how long so it doesn’t load, and even if it did, it’s a private form that only Googlers, I suppose, can fill in. And there have been plenty of reports about all of this for years, and it’s still broken.
