Hello,
I've searched and read hundreds of topics on SPF on this forum but still cant quite get my head around it so hoping someone can clear this up for me. I started looking into it a few weeks ago after finding e-mails to hotmail dont get delivered, not even to the JUNK folder. I suspect the likes of Yahoo and AOL will be giving me the same problem.
I have 2 ip addresses with ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com pointing to each one. Both have PTR records. My incoming and outgoing mail server is set to mail.domain.com .
My DNS looks like this:
domain.com. NS ns1.domain.com.
domain.com. NS ns2.domain.com.
domain.com. A xxx.xxx.112.45
ftp.domain.com. A xxx.xxx.112.45
mail.domain.com. A xxx.xxx.112.45
ns1.domain.com. A xxx.xxx.112.45
ns2.domain.com. A xxx.xxx.112.46
webmail.domain.com. A xxx.xxx.112.45
www.domain.com. CNAME domain.com.
domain.com. MX (10) mail.domain.com.
xxx.xxx.112.45 / 24 PTR domain.com.
xxx.xxx.112.46 / 24 PTR domain.com.
domain.com. TXT v=spf1 a:mail.domain.com -all
mail.domain.com. TXT v=spf1 a:mail.domain.com -all
------
Can you something wrong with that? Any other ideas why my e-mails dont get delivered (or bounced) from Hotmail?
Also.... if I use web mail, do I need to add something to the SPF record?
I hope someone can help me out with this one.
