generates error reports and sends them out... so technically it isn't a
full mail server but it will be sending (outbound only) mail on behalf
of the domain.

I usually choose soft fail because a user might decide to use a mobile
device for email.

Waitman,
Fair enough statement.
I also generated the following SPF using a wizard. Let me know if this
looks correct:
teamwarfare.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx a:mail.teamwarfare.com
a:mail2.teamwarfare.com ip4:66.90.73.80 ip4:216.250.250.148 ~all"
I wouldn't need an "include:" or "ptr" statement in this right? I would
told "include:" was to include OTHER domains that are allowed to send
e-mail, but then again I see some people writing the domain again as an
include. Also is PTR good to use or not?
