I didn't find anything saying these requirements will be applied to all incoming mails.<br>
<br>
So it seems the occasional email to your friend who stubbornly refuses to get a proper email provider will still work without DKIM and whatnot (just make sure you send less than 5000 msgs/day to your friend and you should be fine as far as I understand this
announced change of policy).<br>
<br>
Cheers & happy weekend,<br>
