How common is this scenario? It's such a pain in the ass and I'm getting sick of dealing with it..... OrgA emails OrgB. Email goes through MailHostingCompany's SMTP server. OrgB rejects OrgA email because SPF disallows HosterA's smtp server from sending email on behalf of OrgA. In the headers below, 210.48.108.215 appears to be an SMTP server at grunge.hosts.net.nz =================================================== This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
