I am unfamiliar with most of the technical terms in your email; can you explain what they mean othr than smtp? Thanks Lionel _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cwest Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 9:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [quotes-plus] mail bouncing Thanks Matt. My smtp server is configured to auto-bind to any IP in a group. Some servers insist on SPF records being explicitly bound, from what I can tell. I already had a TXT record identifying my server that Bind servers pickup to more or less do the same thing as an SPF record. When I explicitly bind my smtp server to an IP, sparky.redpin.com--QP's mail server--doesn't reject even though I don't have an SPF record in justmail.net's zone. If I add an SPF record and enable auto-bind, sparky.redpin.com will reject. For the time-being I'll turn auto-bind off and bind my smtp server to the sending IP in the name server. fwiw, sparky.redpin.com's config is the only server I've bumped into that doesn't seem to be aware of auto-binding IPs, so far at least. Perhaps if I play with some SPF params I'll figure a way around sparky.redpin.com's requirement.

But that record says that email from 64.251.30.120 (the mail server your messages to this forum were sent from) isn't on the list. So mailservers (like Quotes-Plus's) are free to assume that your message is forged and reject them. Or just delete them silently. It looks like the problem is justmail.net's SPF record needs to be updated. It's not easy to tell but I think the only authorized mail server for @justmail.net is 64.251.30.123 which isn't the machine your using as a mail server. I got this info using the tools here http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html and by looking at the header of the message you sent to this forum. If you type the IP address of your mail server and your From address in that last section of the page (leave the SPF Record and HELO/EHLO fields blank) it tells you the message may be rejected. If justmail.net is your own domain, you will need to fix this. If it belongs to an ISP they need to fix it. Until that happens you could use another email service (like Yahoo or Google) to send messages.
