The reverse DNS info on the sending machine is a good one to watch out for. That can be manipulated to hide the true origin of the email. I'll mark that as my answer for now.

I think allowing the domain directly might be the right approach. Didn't we practice a question on adding domains to allow lists?

I'm a bit unsure about the database choices. Cloud SQL and Cloud Spanner both have their pros and cons, so I'll need to research those more to decide which one fits best.

I'm a little confused by the options here. Are Availability Zones and geo-replication not suitable for a PaaS solution? I'll need to review the differences between these approaches to make sure I select the right one.
