Spoof Messages when using Apple Mail

When I send email from Apple mail instead of Google my emails usually have the "Be Careful with this message"attached to it. The phishing spoof message. Our Google administrator said that I need the SPF so that emails can be sent without this error

sending "text message" from iPhone to gmail account results in 550-5.7.26 error using an iPhone 13, from my iCloud account, I just sent a meme to a gmail account holder...a person to whom I've sent hundreds of memes in the past. I received a mailer-daemon message which states: "This is the mail system at host twbgohaavzwvcmta-c-nk-x-00-sms-00.vtext.com. I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below. For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster. If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message. The mail system (the gmail address and IP address have not been included in this message as I am trying to protect the person's identity and contact information) said: 550-5.7.26 This mail is unauthenticated, which poses a security risk to the 550-5.7.26 sender and Gmail users, and has been blocked. The sender must 550-5.7.26 authenticate with at least one of SPF or DKIM. For this message, 550-5.7.26 DKIM checks did not pass and SPF check for [mypixmessages.com] did 550-5.7.26 not pass with ip: [63.55.64.196]. The sender should visit 550-5.7.26 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication for 550 5.7.26 instructions on setting up authentication. f25-20020a25b099000000b00bf6fcbdfe15si3306368ybj.237 - gsmtp (in reply to end of DATA command) I clicked on the "https://support.google.com..." link and the webpage states that: "Starting November 2022, new senders who send email to Google Gmail accounts must set up either SPF or DKIM." It further states: "This requirement doesn't apply to you if you're an existing sender." I am an existing sender...I've been sending messages to this gmail account holder for years. My concern is that I'm being required to provide contact or other personally-identifiable information to Google or other third-party vendor...information they have no business having. What can I do to prevent future occurrences of receiving this 5.7.26 error? By the way, this error message has occurred on both my iPhone as well as my MacBook Pro. I look forward to a reply with an offer of assistance at the earliest convenience. Thanks so much!!

phishing emails why does ‘reportphishing@apple.com’ kickback forwarded messages as ‘undeliverable’. it says the content in the message was identified as spam.... that seems like a ‘no duh’ situation and should be corrected by apple. how can i forward you spam phishing emails if you don’t allow spam to be sent to that address?

iOS 15.6 Mail Privacy Protection not working I just received a good old scam email from "costco confirming your order has shipped". Not a big deal - I've seen this kid of junk for years. What *DID* surprise me is that all of the remote images loaded for that email, even when my VPN was disabled. Privacy Protection, in the past, has blocked the remote images from loading, unless my VPN was enabled, and I'd see a message at the top of the message indicating this. Still works fine on macOS 12.5's Mail app. So is Mail Privacy Protection broken? Thanks!
