Hello list, I know this is a bit off-topic, but I'm not sure if I misconfigured Postfix to result in this: Just today, an email of mine was rejected due to SPF reasons:
host mx-ha03.web.de[212.227.15.17] said: 550-Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550-Reject due to SPF policy. 550-The originating IP of the message is not permitted by the domain owner. 550 For explanation visit http://postmaster.web.de/error-messages?ip=64.98.36.17&c=spf (in reply to MAIL FROM command) I have multiple domains, let's call them foobar.de and joebauer.de. "foobar.de" is the primary host name (and there's an A record for foobar.de and *.foobar.de). The reverse DNS of the IP points to foobar.de as well. For my other domain, joebauer.de, also the A records for joebauer.de and *.joebauer.de point to that same IP address of my server. The MX is set to mail.joebauer.de and the TXT is set to "v=spf1 mx -all". According to the tests at http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html a mail originating from my server's IP with a FROM of j...@joebauer.de should have no problems passing the SPF test. However the remote MTA complains and rejects delivery. I do not know what HELO Postfix issued, but tried all of foo.foobar.de, foobar.de and joebauer.de in the kitterman test -- all of which passed SPF. Can anyone help shed light on what I have misconfigured here? Thanks, Johannes
