So SPF processing goes 'up the ladder' when searching for a SPF record? Since there was not one in 'relay2.manh.com', it looked for one in 'manh.com'?

So you are correct that the test should have returned SPFNONE, but not for the reason you think. SPF can - and generally does - apply to the entire domain. It is certainly possible to have a missing host and still have an SPF record for the domain. -Dave Doherty Skywaves, Inc. 508-425-7176 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adam Campbell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 8:48 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] SPF > > 2006.1 > > If the 'domain' (a host name in this case) does not exist, should not it > return SPFNone? > > 20061002 114253 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (337c02b500005d39) [65.166.51.6] > EHLO > relay2.manh.com > 20061002 114408 127.0.0.1 SMTPD (337c02b500005d39) SPF: domain does > not exist: relay2.manh.com > 20061002 114408 127.0.0.1 SMTP (337c02b500005d39) Inbound > X-IMail-Rule: <Rule 5>H~X-IMAIL-SPAM-SPF\:\s\(.{16}\)\sSPFFail:spf Data- > X-IMAIL-SPAM-SPF: (337C02B5000 > > adamc > > > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
