It may be painful, but it seems likely that I'm going to have to split up my DNS using Bind 9 views, which means <groan> two zone files for each domain we host, an internal one with an SPF record that permits sending from all our IPs, and an external one that only permits the MTAs to do it. I'm not terribly happy about this, as it's going to make my DNS config very perplexing just a few months after I had finished a major cleanup. It would be better if Declude would just simply have some way of whitelisting IP addresses to prevent SPF testing. We aren't going to spend money on an upgrade path just for "WHITELIST AUTH", that's for certain. -- A.
