Yes I have exactly the same problem. I am using free Gmail and simple email forwarding from my Dynadot domain. I am not using paid-for Google Apps nor MX records. My Gmail address is still of the @googlemail.com form.
Some emails are getting through to me instantly, but others are delayed by up to 4 days. This started happening only last week.
I have used the same domain to Gmail setup for eight years without a problem, but now it's terrible. I'm selling my house and I have missed several vital emails!!
Examining the headers there are always SPF errors. It seems that the Dynadot parkmail server is not recognised by Google as authorised to send.
Here is an email that was delayed:

The prompt email still has SPF fails. Can someone tell me what the vital difference is between these two sets of headers that led to the delay? Why has Dynadot stopped playing nicely with Google?
