Hi Rick, This would mean the mails will be originating from a server that isn't included in the domain spf records and it will get scored as spam by the receiving server. Naturally, the reverse dns for the domain won't match up to the sending server and you will find mail is rejected by some servers. Keep an eye on your bounces and run lots of tests to various domains to see your emails are getting out.
As mentioned before, we send out some 8000 emails a week to our dating site members and I'm all too aware of the problems spf and reverse dns cause - although I have to say I'm totally in favour of it as it's anto spam. It just makes it very hard sometimes when we are trying to run on a shoe string. Best of luck, Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 January 2006 20:43 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to send email using CF for clients without an open relay... Hi, Jenny... I found a solution by using ArgoSoft's Email Server Plus, which works with multiple domains. I just had to enter the domains for which I would relay mail and that solved the problem. It would have been a lot of trouble to ask the admins of the servers to setup authentication...just easier if I could handle it in-house. Also, some of my client's don't have mail servers, so I would have to have a solution for them, as well....and this works for everyone. I appreciate your help...so far things are looking good, except for the stragne occurence of getting an email in my inbox that my wife sent to someone else through the mail server. I'm getting some repetitious emails when I do a group mailing through Outlook, too. Not big problems, but I hope get *everything* running smoothly so I can turn my attention back to the websites that need building! Thanks, again...
