Every ISP and Hosting company shouldn't be relaying email for OrgA. I say fix the SPF DNS record properly if you want to use it. -----Original Message----- From: nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:nznog-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Regan Murphy Sent: Thursday, 22 July 2010 3:48 p.m. To: Jasper Bryant-Greene Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] SPF Mail rejection Why is OrgA's SPF record broken? Are you saying that OrgA needs to add SPF records to allow every ISP and Hosting company to relay email on its behalf? -----Original Message----- From: Jasper Bryant-Greene [mailto:jasper(a)metaname.co.nz] Sent: Thursday, 22 July 2010 3:46 p.m. To: Regan Murphy Cc: nznog(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Subject: Re: [nznog] SPF Mail rejection On 22/07/2010, at 3:39 PM, Regan Murphy wrote:

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.
So OrgA's SPF record is misconfigured (doesn't accurately describe how they send mail). Shouldn't be that much of a pain to fix? Certainly one of the less hairy mail problems out there... -jasper _______________________________________________ NZNOG mailing list NZNOG(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/nznog
