SPF RecordsHi Dave,

We have in some cases rejected on SPF alone, from the standpoint that the 
sender has published a policy that mail should only be delivered from 
specified mail server(s), and the mail did not arrive from said server(s). 
That said, in most cases we will add these “SPF Dummies” to a counterweight 
filter.

Have you checked the path of the email in question?  if the user sent the 
message through their ISPs mail server instead of through you it would fail 
the SPF policy for their domain.

Darin.

Subject: [MBF] SPF Records

I received an email from a customer because an email he sent to someone in 
Canada was rejected due to SPF checking.   Our DNS server automatically sets 
an SPF record for each domain with the value v=spf1 mx -all   Been that way 
since SPF first became available and I've never had a problem.

I'm curious if anyone here rejects (bounces) email strictly off of an SPF 
check?  I think that's ridiculous.  Moreover, I'm pretty certain our SPF 
record is correct.

I'm thinking the yahoo's in Canada are the ones who don't know what they are 
doing.  Thoughts?
