Hi,

There is one point about the setup of SPF records in DNS that confuses me:
SPF compares the return address of email against the IP of the MX record for
that domain.  However, the MX record doesn't point to an IP, it points to a
host name, which may be in another domain.  So the MX record for abc.com may
point to mail.xyz.com.  So when systems do an SPF lookup, do they just find
the IP of mail.xyz.com and use that, and ignore the fact that that mail
server really belongs to another domain?
