The "Super-trustworthy" new feature have 3 main cool new rocking features :

- All of the sender's email is authenticated with DKIM,
- Gmail rejects any fake messages that claim to come from this sender, but actually don't.

Here's a look on post on their official Gmail blog
We're always looking for new ways to protect Gmail inboxes from spam and phishing. Last year, we started taking extra steps to protect you from fake eBay and PayPal emails, requiring that any email claiming to come from one of eBay's or PayPal's domains actually comes from them. We do that by looking at the "From" header, and when it says "ebay.com" for example, it means it really did come from ebay.com. Anything else is rejected; it won't even appear in your spam folder because Gmail won't accept it.
