Ok..

Does this mean things are working now?

I just ran the test on Scott's website...

SPF lookup of sender [EMAIL PROTECTED] from IP 24.73.160.162:


SPF string used: v=spf1 ip4:24.73.160.162 a mx ptr -all.
Processing SPF string: v=spf1 ip4:24.73.160.162 a mx ptr -all.
Testing 'ip4:24.73.160.162' on IP=24.73.160.162, target domain
24.73.160.162, CIDR 32, default=PASS.  MATCH!
Testing 'a' on IP=24.73.160.162, target domain example.com, CIDR 32,
default=PASS.  Testing 'mx' on IP=24.73.160.162, target domain example.com,
CIDR 32, default=PASS.  Testing 'ptr' on IP=24.73.160.162, target domain
example.com, CIDR 32, default=PASS.  Testing 'all' on IP=24.73.160.162,
target domain example.com, CIDR 32, default=FAIL.  
Result: PASS


This, however, is no guarrantee things are going to work internally though,
is it?


<snip from Matt's email>
 believe that both CMDSPACE and SPF are inappropriate tests to score unless
you can whitelist your own local users that connect directly to your server
to send E-mail.  If you have IMail 7 and your users are on IP space that you
don't control, you are out of luck, but if you have either IMail 8 and/or
all of your users connect by way of a LAN, then there are ways to do this,
but you should first indicate which of the above applies.


I control all the IPS my users are on, it's a local LAN...192.168.x.x (there
are 5 different subnets) but my mail server is on a DMZ off the firewall,
and I have an smtp proxy enabled. This would indicate that in reality, it's
the IP address of the firewall that is actually handling the internal mail,
as well. So, adding the IP address of the firewall (24.73.160.162) should
work.

I wish there was a way to test this internally. Is there?
