Which mail servers go in SPF records?
It is not clear to me if the mail server that initiates email being sent needs to be in the SPF record or every server the mail relays through in our domain or only the last server that is directly connected to the Internet.
If our mail starts from our Exchange server and is relayed to a spam appliance and relayed again to a Unix mail server and finally out to the Internet, do we only put the last part of the chain in the SPF record (the Unix mail server) or do we also need
the originating mail server (Exchange) and any other servers it relays through included in the SPF record?
My understanding of using SPF records is that you only need to include the server(s) that ultimately delivers the mail out to the internet. When my server receives email from you, it checks for an SPF record that specifies that your server which
it is receiving the mail from is allowed to send the mail.

Virtual mail hosts: 255 character limit on SPF records
This one was a surprise to me, and caused a lot of headache, so I thought I'd pass it along.
I'm running multiple virtual mail hosts off of my doughty PowerMac single G5 1.8GHz running OS X Server 10.4.11. Some of the outgoing mail was being bounced as spam because a) there wasn't an SPF record on any of the domains and b) the domain of the mailserver didn't always match the domain of the sender. (Most often, it went out under the hostname of the server, cerberus.limbo.jcf.org—which is useless, since that's a LAN address.)
Trying to be a good citizen (and make sure that all of everyone's mail got through), I added SPF records that explicitly named each and every mailserver on the machine, just so that everything was clear and aboveboard—but they ended up being about 500 characters long.
Fastforward a week or two... and I was having problems with my DNS zones loading—I'd get errors that they'd timed out. After pulling my hair out for a while, I discovered that TXT records have a limit of 255 characters (including spaces, etc.) Some folks running servers on non-OS X Server machines have split the records over multiple TXT records (does that even work?), but you get exactly one TXT record per OS X Server machine: the Comment box.
I've now simplified the SPF records so that they read something like this:
+v=spf1 a mx mx:cerberus.limbo.jcf.org mx:cerberus.jcf.org mx:jcf.org ip:173.164.140.96/30 ip:207.58.140.213/30 include:comcast.businessclass.net include:comcast.com -all+
To translate:
• +v=spf1 a mx+ It authorizes deliveries from any IP listed in the DNS zone, and from any mailserver defined in the zone
• +mx:cerberus.limbo.jcf.org mx:cerberus.jcf.org mx:jcf.org+ It also explicitly authorizes deliveries from the server's main LAN and internet DNS names as well as the domain of the foundation for which I work (and through which emails are occasionally relayed)
• +ip:173.164.140.96/30 ip:207.58.140.213/30+ Next it authorizes the public static IP blocks for the server and the foundation's remote server
• +include:comcast.businessclass.net include:comcast.com+ Finally it includes the domain names of the ISP through which most of the mail are relayed
• -all The last item says that if the mail didn't originate from one of those addresses, it isn't ours.
(I think that I've got that right. If I've botched it anywhere, let me know, okay?)
That's 169 characters. The DNS zones loaded happily, and the mail seems to be going out without getting bounced. So far so good!
(There's probably a way to get the hostname on each email to match the domain from which it is being addressed, but I haven't gotten there yet.)

You can control this via the myhostname setting in Postfix. This defines the name it uses to identify itself to remote mail servers, which sounds like it'll address a lot of your issues.
I added SPF records that explicitly named each and every mailserver on the machine, just so that everything was clear and aboveboard—but they ended up being about 500 characters long.
OK, this doesn't make sense. You don't need to list every virtual hostname for every domain.
All you need to do is add this specific mail server's address in each domain.
There's no requirement that the hostname of the mail server matches the domain name, so it's entirely valid to create an SPF record in domain1.com that lists mailserver.someotherdomain.com as authoritative. Then, as long as postfix's myhostname says it's mailserver.someotherdomain.com and your reverse DNS resolves to that address your problem is solved.
...but you get exactly one TXT record per OS X Server machine: the Comment box.
Unless you edit your zone file directly and add whatever other records you like. However, given the above, I don't think the 255-character limit should be an issue.
Even if you didn't want to mess with your zone files directly there's still a way around that - SPF allows for an 'include' record which basically tells remote servers to include the record from some other domain, so for each domain you could just tell it to include some other domain's record (which, in turn, could include another domain) allowing virtually unlimited record length (or, at least, 255 characters per domain you manage).
SPF Includes are covered here.
• include:comcast.businessclass.net include:comcast.com Finally it includes the domain names of the ISP through which most of the mail are relayed
Bzzzz. You've now allowed any other customer of comcastbusiness.net and comcast.com to send mail on your behalf. You probably don't want to do that. When you consider that 'comcast.com' includes every one of their residential customers you can see that you really don't want to do that. -
Added v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all and the txt token for the Exchange 2013 hybrid configuration, now some mails bounced back with the error "SPF Unauthorized mail is prohibited". What could be the cause? Should I customized
the SPF record but it is not mentioned in the procedures for Hybrid configuration to do that.Hi,
Would you like to mark Ed's reply as an answer so that others can find the solution easily.
Have a nice day : )

I am using Windows XP, v 5.1 w/ Service Pac 3 installed.
Was running earlier version until automatic update at @1730 hours (EDT), April 30, 2014. After auto update to 24.5.0, the "What's New" tab has the note "The connection was refused when attempting to contact live.mozillamessaging.com." and when I try to access e-mail servers, I get a pop-up note "could not connect to mail server [e-mail address], connection was refused" on one account and it hangs trying to connect to "pop.secureserver.net" or the mail server for two other accounts.
I have restarted with Add-Ons disabled and all the problems continue to exist.
I can read the e-mails via my browser on the appropriate server, so I know it is not a server issue.
Server settings for e-mail are correct according to e-mail service providers.
How does this get fixed?Make sure Thunderbird isn't blocked by a personal firewall.

Our site allows people to send a request to various subscribers by email. The emails are sent with the FROM being the requesters email address so that our subscribers can reply to them directly.
In the last week we have received a lot of bounced emails from accounts that don't exist on our server. I think setting up an SPF record could help in this regard.
However, given the way our service works, does it make sense to set up an SPF record?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks.Adding an SPF record would help in regards to people using your domain name as the source of spam messages. It wouldn't have any effect on emails you send out under other people's name, though.
If your server sends out a message from [email protected] your SPF record doesn't come into play at all, but under those circumstances you wouldn't get the bounce message anyway - it would go to [email protected] However, your IP address may get flagged as sending bogus email.
In any case I'd add a SPF record. It's not hard to do, and it helps insulate your domain from problems. There's no downside to having it unless users in your domain regularly send mail from other mail servers (which they shouldn't be doing anyway). -
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.
TrevorHi
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 -
I've read through a number of forum posts here and elsewhere and still find this a confusing thing to setup. I believe it is partly because of the way terminology is being used.
We host our own email on Exchange 2010 servers and have a number of email domains.
domaina.com
domainb.com
domainc.com
domaind.com
The mx records for all the above domains look like: mail.domaina.com IPADDRESS (same for domain b, domain c, etc).
We use an external email filtering service. As a result, our MX records list the filtering service addresses as the highest priority, with our own mail host listed last: mail.ourdomain.com
We only send mail from our own email servers. We do not relay any of our email to another server for delivery to the internet. We do not use the email filtering service for any outbound email.
I only want to include the three servers of ours that deliver mail to the internet in our SPF record.
In the past, when I have done a telnet session to test SMTP from another server inside our network to one of the outbound servers, our server might respond with a different hostname in the HELO/EHLO (one of the four different mail.domaina.com, mail.domainb.com,
mail.domainc.com or mail.domaind.com hostnames). For the example, I will say that mail.domaina.com is our primary mail domain which also matches the subject name on our SSL certificates.
Using a number of different SPF record generating tools, I come up with different SPF records and reading the SPF record creation guidelines, I don't find it any more clear.
Some of the tools even suggest that the email server names be included in the SPF record. Here is what was suggested, more or less, by the SPF record generating tools:
"v=spf1 mx a a:hubtransportserver1.domaina.com a:hubtransportserver2.domaina.com a:hubtransportserver3.domaina.com ip4:xxx.xxx.xxx.202/31 ~all"
I used a CIDR calculator to convert the three public IP addresses used by our outbound email servers to generate the CIDR range.
With the information above, can anyone offer guidance on what the proper SPF record format is? The Microsoft SPF tool is still broken - you can't add more than one mx record domain, no matter how you enter them in the box. It will work if you only
enter one mx record domain.
Any help is appreciated!it should have the IP addresses or the domain name of all the server which is authorized to receive the email for your domain
Example:
"v=spf1 ip4:192.168.0.1/16 -all"
example.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 include:example.net -all"
; AND
example1.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 include:example1.net -all" -
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.
Sincerely,

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

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.

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! -
How can I redirect all messages to 2 another mail servers?
Hi all
./imsimta version
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
I wanted to redirect all messages(in and out) to another mail server, I configured as follows,
- imta.cnf
! tcp_local
tcp_local smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
! tcp_intranet
tcp_intranet smtp mx single_sys ....... sourcefilter file:///backother.filter
- backother.filter
require ["fileinto"];
if address :all :matches ["From"]["*"]{
redirect "[email protected]";
keep;
stop;
One e-mail account receives all messgaes and those messages will be kept in sender's or receiver's mail storage.
I want , however, redirect all messages 2 or 3 mail servers.
I tried several things to do this include edit backother.filter(this is written in Sieve ), but I failed.
Is there any way to redirect messages to another mail servers?
Any way would be good , using sieve script, make antoher channel or channel keyword
Thanks

capture "[email protected]";
I tested it but the capture's behavior was very weird, subject had changed to something like,'deliverd status notice', sender had changed to postmaster and additional notice messgae inserted into mail body.The default sieve capture action encapsulates the email to keep a copy of both the envelope information and the original message. MS7u3 also supports the Exchange journal encapsulation format through the addition of the ":journal" parameter.
I edited 'capture' like this..
capture :message "[email protected]";
The ":message" flag removes the encapsulation -- therefore you will have no idea of who the original sender/recipients were as the envelope information has been discarded.
It worked fine. It was same as the result of 'redirect'.
but the following line, sent10 messages to each recipients.(receive_01,receive_02)
capture :message "[email protected],[email protected]";
maybe there was some 'loop' actions happened.The email produced by the capture sieve action is being "captured" which is resulting in a loop. You can stop this by adding an envelope test e.g.
require ["envelope"];
if not envelope :is ["to"] ["[email protected]","[email protected]"]
capture :message "[email protected]";
capture :message "[email protected]";

Mail Adapter - Multiple mail ID and multiple mail servers config.
Hi All
I am doing BPM synch scenario in which i get the response from SAP box and send the response via email adapter. I am using mail.xsd and doing mail config. in message mapping. However in the TO field i am able to give only one email ID. If i give multiple email ID's mail is not received. I tried comma and semi-colon as separator. Still not working? I have two questions in configuring TO option:
1) How to send to multiple id's? I am using Lotus Notes.
2)How to send to multiple mail servers? I have to send to Lotus Notes id's and outlook express id's also simultaneously.
Thanks for your help in advance
Warm Regards
SamuelHi,
Please find here with some observations about it,
1) How to send to multiple id's? I am using Lotus Notes.
If you have specified an IMAP server under URL, the message is saved in the specified folder but is not sent to the receiver specified under To.
Then even if Under To, you had specified the e-mail address that will receive the message would be separated with a semicolon. It will not work.
Please verify about it .
The below link will also help you to verify if there is anything missing

Hi,
In our landscape there are multiple Lotus Mail Servers.
The requirement is to give a direct link to their Mailboxes.
I understood that this can be realized by a URL iview to the Mailbox and using User Mapping through a HTTP System.
Now I am trying to findout the best practice to give access to their mail boxes.I have identified the following...
1. A page where we place multiple links directing to the different mail servers and the user has to pickup his mail server.
2. Put the mail server details in the user profile and code a small application which will read the details and will redirect to the respective mail server.
I would request you to suggest and share your experiences.
Thanks & Regards
MrutyunjayHi Mrutyunjay,
I would suggest that you go for the second option. This saves the user a unecessary click. Create a custom attribute that allows you to determine the user's mail server. Create as many system objects as you have Lotus mail servers and have a look into SAP Library to find out how to use the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/21/dfd241cb76c417e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Dynamic System Resolution service</a>.
<i>The Dynamic System Resolution feature enables you to create a service that selects at runtime the system to which an iView connects.
Generally, an iView connects to a system that is defined at design time. With dynamic system resolution, an iView can select at runtime from among several systems, based on the location of the current user, network traffic or any other logic.
For example, for a specific iView, you may want users in Europe to connect to a system in Germany while users in the United States connect to a similar system in New York.</i>

Using ColdFusion with mail servers
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/9.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24 -70fc.html
Undelivered email used to be routed to the undelivr folder. We then could make corrections and move it into the spool folder.
CF 9 is different. It sends the email to every server in the list and then records the last server as successfully sent. The undelivered email then disappears.
I found that if I added a bogus mail server address, to the end of the additional mail servers list in Backup Mail Servers, the undeliverable email is moved into the undelivered folder. -
