One last question before I begin implementing this on all domains we host. We currently have our info for ei8htlegs.net setup as follows: "v=spf1 a mx -all"
The issue I am worried about is that we do have some scripts on our servers that send an email when the form is filled out. What other settings do I need to do to make sure they are sent as needed? Our server IP might be different than the IP the website is running off of. We currently have 16 different IP's. Do I need to list ALL IP's to be safe? If so, how is the best way to do that? Thanks!

There are two parts to SPF. One is publishing an SPF record (you can see ours at http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=declude.com&type=TXT ). That will help ensure that your E-mail gets delivered properly without being blocked, and helps ensure that spammers don't abuse your domain (if they do, their E-mail can get blocked on mailservers implementing SPF). The other part is implementing SPF on your mailserver. With IMail, the only way to do it now (without adding a gateway) is to purchase Declude JunkMail, which has had SPF support for about 6 months now (I believe we were the first commercial anti-spam product to add SPF support). That will allow you to take advantage of all the domains that are publishing SPF records, helping ensure that legitimate E-mail gets through, and helping block spam. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers since 2000.
