Some mail appears to be coming from a host (hetzner04.zopefoundation.org)
which is not one of our MX hosts:

 $ dig -t MX zope.org
 ...
 ;; ANSWER SECTION:
 zope.org.		600	IN	MX	0 mail.zope.org.
 zope.org.		600	IN	MX	5 mail2.zope.org.


Our SPF record says that mail should only be coming from them, so Google
is bouncing those messages.  We need either to fix it so that mail comes
from the 'mail.zope.org' IP, or else add the other host to our MX list.

There are two problems with HTTPS on mail.zope.org:  our own certificate
is expired, and the issuer (StartCom) has an intermediate certificate
which expired even longer ago:

  http://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=mail.zope.org/

Ugh, I don't recall now where the software lives for that.  CC'ing the
infrastructure list to verify.
