How do I set an SPF record?

I'm quite unfamiliar with SPF records, but I'm using FreshBooks to invoice my clients. However, my invoices seem to be going to many people's junk and spam folders. Freshbooks is suggesting to set an SPF record to avoid this. Can this be done with icloud emails, or is this specifically for a privately owned domain email?

If you have set up your Domain A-record on the registra to point web traffic to BC you do not set up another A-record in BC.

  • How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up?

    How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up? My office is trying to use an iPhone for our business, and we want to give a brief introductory message that the caller will hear, before we pick up the line. Are there ay apps for this? Thanks!

    There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

  • HOW DO I SET MY AUDIO RECORDING PROGRAM

    I AM USING BEHRINGERS UF0202 TO TRANSFER MY CASSETTES TO ITUNES.  IT SAYS TO SET MY AUDIO RECORDING PROGRAM TO RECORD FROM THE USB PORT.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    Are you are using an audio interface?
    Are you recording external instruments... you will need to explain what kind of audio, virtual instruments, loops, recorded audio through an interface?
    If you're recording through an audio interface (or the computer's audio input) Logic's plugins cannot stop peaks as Software is -after- the the hardware input. If you're getting peaks recording through hardware you will need to bring down input levels.

  • SPF Record?

    Does anyone know about this? If so is this separate from the MX record? IS it really needed? Opinions please...

    The SPF record and the MX record are two different things.
    You can get some background concerning SPF records at:
    http://www.openspf.org/Introduction
    It is a good idea to publish a SPF record; however, (in my opinion) I would set the SPF record so that it will SoftFail ("~all").
    Whether to have SpamAssassin evaluate SPF records (by installing the SPF perl module, see the instructions here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3813471 ) as a method to filter spam is another issue. Pterobyte did a stellar job of evaluating whether or not to do so. You can read his posts concerning this issue here (his conclusion, and I agree, is not to bother):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3800656
    This matter is "kind" of like one of those liberal vs. conservative political issues that many folks have an opinion about, but I'll try and give you my experience with this. Back in January I set SpamAssassin to evaluate SPF records for the purpose of filtering for spam. I eventually removed the filtering for the reasons Pterobyte outlined and the reasons below:
    (1) Most Domains SoftFail.
    From what I can tell most domains that I was seeing coming through either had no SPF record or had a record that ended in ~a (SoftFail). Given this fact, SpamAssassin wasn't able to make heads-or-tails of most SPF records for spam filtering purposes.
    As a side note, SPF seemed hard to implement when a company had several mobile users. So, I got the impression that many companies would just set their SPF to softfail for that reason.
    (2) Spammers Can Publish an SPF Record
    A spammer can post an SPF record, so SpamAssassin doesn't give a SPF_Pass much weight.
    (3) The Rare Exception
    The only time I could really see that SPF record evaluation was going to make a solid impact was with domains that had SPF records ending in -a, and the only time that it was going to make a difference was when a spammer was spoofing a domain with a record ending in -a.
    I only did this for a few days mind you ... but I just wasn't seeing any spam that met that condition that wouldn't have been caught anyway.
    I felt like the load on my server's resources was a bit much given the limited impact the checks were having.

  • How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?

    How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

    Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function.  Contact your carrier to see if they have this option.  If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name.  Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

    Thank you for your reply. However, I could not get Templates to work correctly for me.  Following your instructions, I opened my document, opened Page Setup, set the printer, paper size, orientation, and printed a copy to make sure it was right. Then I re-opened Page Setup to verify that the settings were still correct. Then I saved the document as a Template. Then I found my template in Pages, opened the template, and tried to print. The first thing I noticed was that the template did not remember my printer. Then I set the printer, and printed, but I found that the template also did not remember the page size or the document orientation. So, did I miss a step here? Lion 10.7.5 and Mac Mini.

    Create a new External Midi Track, set the MIDI port to the one being connected to teh RD700. Now,create a new Software Instrument track. Select the external instrument plug-in. Set the MIDI destination and the audio input inside the Plug-in. Now, you can record the MIDI notes and hear the sound of the RD700. Once you've editied, you can bounce the track.

  • SPF Record (How Do I Add?)

    Has anyone added a SPF record to cut down on spammers sending mail that looks like it came from your domain? What's your experience been since? I would like some assistance on getting this done on my Mac 10.4 Server.
    Thanks in advance!
    Powermac G5 Dual 2.5   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    http://www.openspf.org/ has wizard that builds a SPF
    record based on answers to simply questions about
    your network. You can use it as a starting point.
    Camelot is correct, the best place to get information about SPF is at the openspf.org web site or the newer new.openspf.org site. Make sure you read all the information because publishing SPF records can have an impact on how your users send email. Be especially aware of the impact if you use email forwarding. Email forwarding breaks SPF!
    You should also join the SPF Help mailing list if you have any further questions that are not answered at the SPF web site. I read all the postings to that list and myself and others will be more than happy to answer any further questions you have.
    As for how effective it is - hard to say because no
    one ever lets you know when they block mail due to
    SPF restrictions.
    Actually, if you fail an SPF check you are sent a bounce email that includes a link to the SPF web site explaining why the email bounced. Here is a sample of a link for an email that my server bounced.
    Please see http://www.openspf.org/why.html?sender=ceo%401000planets.com&ip=85.2.114.191&rec eiver=server.pixelpointstudios.lan, header_comment=server.pixelpointstudios.lan: domain of [email protected] does not designate 85.2.114.191 as permitted sender
    However, for the trivial amount of work it is to
    implement it's worth doing. There's an element of
    chicken-and-egg in the whole process - people won't
    start adding SPF records until mail servers start
    checking them, but mail servers won't check them
    until they're being added to the DNS.
    Well, there are two parts to SPF. There is the publishing of SPF records to protect your own domains and there is the checking of SPF records to validate the email that is sent to you.
    By merely publishing SPF records you are already doing quite a bit. On top of the fact that your are protecting your own domains from fraudulent use, you are also helping stem the flow of forged email for those who are evaluating SPF records on the receiving end.
    If you are running Mac OS X Server 10.4.x, the included SpamAssassin install will evaluate SPF records and use the results in its scoring if you install the SPF Perl modules.
    If you want to go further than that you can install the Mail::SPF::Query Perl module and a Postfix policy plug-in and block SPF failures at your MTA.
    Anything you can do to help stem the flow, as well as
    protect your corporate identity has to be a good
    thing.
    Can't argue with you there!

  • Leopard DNS Server: Zones with SPF records?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out how to setup SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records for some domains I'm currently managing with a Leopard DNS server and I don't see any documentation anywhere. Can someone please tell me if it's even an option? I'm new to running DNS with Leopard, so I could use all the help I can get.

    Israel,
    I am new to Leopard Server - so I'm no DNS guru. I, too, have not used a DNS setup tool that requires a FQDN just associate an IP with the base of the domain (mydomain.com.). How did you get your 'mydomain.com. IN A 11.22.33.44' accomplished? Did you create a new A record and put mydomain.com. in the Machine Name field?
    Here's my setup:
    ========================
    db.mydomain.com
    ========================
    ;THE FOLLOWING INCLUDE WAS ADDED BY SERVER ADMIN. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE.
    $INCLUDE /var/named/zones/db.mydomain.com.zone.apple
    ========================
    db.mydomain.com.zone.apple
    ========================
    $TTL 10800
    mydomain.com. IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. admin.mydomain.com. (
    2008010951 ;Serial
    7200 ;Refresh
    3600 ;Retry
    604800 ;Expire
    345600 ;Negative caching TTL
    mydomain.com. IN NS ns1.mydomain.com.
    mydomain.com. IN NS ns.mydomain.com.
    mydomain.com. IN A 64.251.168.218
    mydomain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip:64.251.168.218 ip:64.251.168.220 ~all"
    www IN A 64.251.168.218
    mail.mydomain.com. IN A 64.251.168.220
    mail.mydomain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a ~all"
    xserve.mydomain.com. IN A 64.251.168.218
    xserve.mydomain.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a ~all"
    ns IN A 64.251.168.218
    ns1 IN A 64.251.168.220
    mydomain.com. IN MX 10 mail.mydomain.com.
    ... where xserve.mydomain.com is my machine's hostname.
    I have a funky setup for DNS because I don't have a different, or second, DNS server (just the one on my Xserve with everything else) and my name servers are under this zone. I added the two IPs for my mail and hostname to the base SPF record. Someone could still spoof from using the name or www domains (same IPs) but I can check for it using Postfix up front. I also added "v=spf1 a ~all" in case another mail server tries to check the mailing server or hostname directly.
    You'll usually want to set a TXT "v=spf1 ~all" (SPF null) for any records that have no possibility for mail origins, like your ftp and mobile, but it appears you also have a similar issue to me - those services will be running under the same IPs as the mail service. This is why I added "v=spf1 a ~all" to all essential services (mail and hostname). I don't know what will happen if you add an SPF null to an unnecessary service that happens to also have the same IP. (Will the IP get blocked in a cache during a lookup??) So I didn't add an SPF TXT to those domains. I'm a little confused at this point. I should probably read more about it.
    http://www.openspf.org/FAQ/Common_mistakes
    Also, you'll notice I added FQDN to mail and xserve. If I do this and ensure they are in my reverse DNS PTR records then I've seen that when I add new zone records with same IPs (like for another domain) then the PTR records don't keep switching to the newest entry (why does it do that?).
    I don't think your use of the . in the CNAME records is correct. I think the CNAME records are probably unnecessary since you have already fully defined the domains in A records. Also, those A records probably don't need FQDNs (with the ending .). I only added mine for the reason noted above, concerning the PTR records.
    I hope someone who knows some more than I can chime in on this.

  • Creating SPF records

    Having run a few tests on our Server, on of the errors that has come up is that we don't have any SPF records.
    Doing a search sends me to the following site, but it always comes up with the error - System Maintenance in progress. Please try again later.
    microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/
    Having looked at some other sites, I come up with different answers.
    Here is my example, our website is hosted by another company, but we run our own mail server.  I have used the following examples
    domain - mydomain.com
    mail server ip - 1.2.3.4
    One wizard come up with the following to add to my DNS
    mydomain.com.  IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4"
    Another wizard comes up with the following
    "v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 ?all"
    Another wizard comes up with the following
    "v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 -all"
    Any advice appreciated.

    Hi
    No ones mentioned this that I;ve seen. But the SPF settings get applied to the domain at Nameserver level, so not on the local server, but wherever is configured that
    www.mydomain.com - goes to 10.20.30.40 and remote.mydomain.com goes to 1.2.3.4 and mail.mydomain.com go to 1.2.3.4 etc
    On the name server you set up a new TXT for .mydomain.com
    the values need to have
    v=spf1 - to show this is the SPF settings
    I would then add the IP's and Domains of any PC authorised to send emails on your behalf
    i.e. +ip4:1.2.3.4 +a:mail.mydomain.com +a:remote.mydomain.com - This covers your server doing email directly from it... some SPF servers I've found look for the a record and not IP when tracing back (usually pain ones, so never hurts to add as resolves
    to same place)
    If your website hosted elsewhere has an email form on it you'll need to authorise your webserver to send on your behalf as it will most likely send from a @mydomain.com email address (your own server could class it as spam if not included)
    so +ip4:x.x.x.x(webserver IP) +a:www.mydomain.com
    As for the all bit
    -all is best - means no one else can pretend to be you. I;ve not used ?all, but due to the experience I'm about to explain it could be useful (saves having to use ~all which makes spf pointless)
    If you use -all SPF checkers will only allow emails to come from authorised senders. This leads to a problem with people they email without things set up right... had a few problems. A clients customer, had a spam checker that was offsite, that forwards
    the email on to the server. so email goes from SenderA to SpamCheckerB. SpamCheckerB scans the email and then forwards on to mailserverC
    MailserverC is also set up to check for spam including SPF..... problems is the email has been 'officially' sent from SpamcheckerB and not SenderA.... thus gets rejected by SPF
    If senderA doesn;t use SPF it all goes through fine, or if SPF set to ~all goes through fine
    Obviously this is a bad set up at the customers end, but if your client or yourself can not send to certain customers (no matter how misconfigured they are, and it being their fault) has a knock on to the business
    So please be aware of that if you use -all which is obviously best. Not sure what ?all would do in this case...
    so my setting for your SPF would be
    v=spf1 +ip4:1.2.3.4 +a:mail.mydomain.com +a:remote.mydomain.com +ip4:x.x.x.x(webserver IP) +a:www.mydomain.com -all
    Hope this helps and gives you some trouble shooting ideas in advance

    Mechanisms are prefixed with qualifiers:
    "+" Pass
    "-" Fail
    "~" SoftFail
    "?" Neutral
    Mechanisms are evaluated in order and when no matche, the default will be "Neutral".
    If there is no SPF for a domain, the result is "None". If a domain has a temp error during DNS processing, you get the result "TempError" (called "error" in earlier drafts). If some kind of syntax or evaluation error occurs (eg. the domain specifies an unrecognized
    mechanism) the result is "PermError" (formerly "unknown").
    Evaluation of an SPF record can return any of these results:
    Pass -The SPF record designates the host to be allowed to send accept
    Fail -The SPF record has designated the host as NOT being allowed to send reject
    SoftFail - The SPF record has designated the host as NOT being allowed to send but is in transition accept but mark
    Neutral - The SPF record specifies explicitly that nothing can be said about validity accept
    None - The domain does not have an SPF record or the SPF record does not evaluate to a result accept
    PermError - A permanent error has occured (eg. badly formatted SPF record) unspecified
    TempError - A transient error has occured accept or reject
