#182password reminder emails are sometimes rejected by gmail
A successful delivery:

A failed one (this one used an IPv6 address):

It seems we need an IPv6 PTR (reverse DNS) record, for which I need to get an A (AAAA?) record added for hub.darcs.net's IPv6 address 2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe62:77de.
This seems to be resolved:
$ bash -cx 'dig +short -tA hub.darcs.net; dig +short -x 173.255.254.113; dig +short -tAAAA hub.darcs.net; dig +short -x 2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe62:77de' + dig +short -tA hub.darcs.net 173.255.254.113 + dig +short -x 173.255.254.113 li280-113.members.linode.com. + dig +short -tAAAA hub.darcs.net 2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe62:77de + dig +short -x 2600:3c01::f03c:91ff:fe62:77de
so emails should no longer be dropped for this reason.
I suppose they'll still be occasionally dropped for other reasons. There isn't a SPF record yet. And indeed https://www.mail-tester.com gives darcs hub's password reminder emails a low 4.3/10 score due to
[SPF] hub.darcs.net does not allow your server 173.255.254.113 to use darcshub@hub.darcs.net -1 Your message is not signed with DKIM -1 We didn't find a mail server (MX Record) behind your domain name hub.darcs.net. -3
Leaving this open.

Correcting my mispaste above just for the record.
