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. From: Dave Beckstrom Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2015 6:54 PM To: [email protected] 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?
