Any email experts here?
« on: 23 April 2012, 19:21:26 »

SPFs in particular.

Since changing the DNS server, email leaving OOF (either automated, or from those with OOF Email Accounts), is frequently getting dropped as spam.

The implication is the SPF for omegaowners.com is wrong, but looks fine to me.

Have you tried using the MS wizard to build one and then comparing it to what you have?

I'm not an expert, but have done several, but not recently, so a bit rusty, but if you want me to take a look PM it to me.

The record is there for anyone to see. Only as a TXT record, not as an SPF (TXT is currently more valid, SPF RR is still very transistional).

For anyone who can help, I'd rather they pulled out the SPF from DNS themselves, just to prove that they are getting what I believe I'd put into DNS :y



I always create SPFs by hand, never had a problem, as its quite simple.  Run it against validators, and its "valid", but fails the openspf.net test, mail-from=failed (now changed to softfail, so some mail gets through).  Normally, I'd say the tester was faulty, but it uses a common SPF library, so if it is, I need to think of a workaround.


/Edit - various wizards create same SPF

I seem to have been flagging incoming mails as SPF_PASS since around 16th April, if that's any help? :-\

Certainly some mail servers have been marking it as failed (SPF can be analysed at 3 points I believe), including some big providers such as Yahoo (and thus UK's biggest ISP).

Trouble is, I'm convinced the SPF is right.

Yahoo is an absolute bl**dy nightmare when it comes to spam and spam software. Reminds me, I need to login and see what it has been blocking behind my back ...

I'm now 99% convinced its an error with the (unfortunately commonly used) python spf library.  Bugger.
