Patrons not receiving notifications

Hey @mindy - has the Patreon team looked into email authentication for its notifications? I use Mailchimp which employs authentication, and I have at least one patron who gets my Mailchimp messages but never gets anything that I send him (at the same email address) via Patreon, even though he has verified that his settings are correct in Patreon. Perhaps something like what Mailchimp uses would make the Patreon system more effective. Here is how Mailchimp recommends setting up authentication.

Adding my patrons to Mailchimp via Zapier seems to help people get my messages, but it would be nice if the Patreon notification system just worked so we didn’t need this workaround.

On a somewhat related note, I never get notifications from the Patreon iPhone app, even though I have all push notifications turned on in the app, and Patreon app notifications enabled in my iPhone settings. Any recommendations?

Thanks again for all you do!
