Yes, that range covers our mail server, and any other server that might send mail (web, application). So is it better to leave out the "mx", and just have "v=spf1 ip4:216.81.209.193/27 -all"?

If that address range covers all the IP addresses that all of your MX records resolve to then its redundant. Also, if they build the list of valid IP's instead of first checking any explicit ones you'll be making them lookup and resolve the MX record(s) unnecessarily. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The avalanche has already started, it is too Rod Dorman late for the pebbles to vote." - Ambassador Kosh 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/
