Constantly having to log in to SPF..

SPFintranetmanager — Wed, 04 May 2011 14:08:25 +0000

For some reason, everytime I’m in SPF 2010 and opening a document in Word, I have to log in again. Is there some way to configure an SPF 2010 intranet so that we only log in once and that’s it? Thank you!

Enabling SPF on Exchange 2003

How can I enable SPF on Exchange 2003 and what do I need to do to make sure my users emails are not accidentally blocked. How does SPF actually work? Are there documentation on it?

SPF records, what happens if an SPF record is entered wrong?

After a lot of talking, system admins have entered SPF records to our domain.

I have not yet been able to test this with domains that previously didn’t receive our e-mails, as I do not want to keep bugging our customers, but I see the following:

- mail sent from our domain to e.g. my personal gmail account are marked as SPAM. This wasn’t happening before the SPF record was added.
- mail sent to a mail address on one of my domains does arrive in the inbox, but the message source does not show any reference to SPF, so it is probably not being validated for such a record.

when I validate the SPF records using these 3 services one of the records does not validate.

SPF records created are (against my advice, well Labnuke99′s advice)
v=spf1 a -all
and
v=spf1 mx a:mail ?all

there is an A record in the domain’s DNS for mail.ourdomain.nl that redirects to the ip-address of the ISP/exchange server. I was assuing that IP address should be part of the SPF record.

I’m very worried about the potential mess that may be the result of this.

thanks,

(and labnuke99, I don’t know how to contact you, but should you wish to get n touch (damn I know I do), my e-mail is my account name here (starting with s, ends with implr) provided by gmail.)

SPF Record quick help needed

Hi,
I am having some issues sending email that I beleive are related to SPF record.

Here is my setup. I am in the process of implementing an exchange server thus moving away from hosted email. I am using my exchange as a smtp server for most of the user (I have a lot of remote user that I have not converted yet). some recipient are rejecting emails and I am pretty sure it is due to SPF. My exchange as a FQDN of exchange.mycompany.com and we are sending with email email@mycompany.com. The MX records have not been changed. How can I set a SPF record on the exchange server so that SPF filters will not flag us a email spoofers?

Thanks,
Patrick
