Make sure your server has a host name. And make sure it is set up correctly. If your DNS name is mail.gateshosting.com, make sure your server name is "mail", and your suffix is "gateshosting.com" for a full name of "mail.gateshosting.com". Also just make sure you HAVE a dns record for that ip, and a rDns record for that ip. Here is a tool I use to check my mail server: www.dnsreport.com - Just check your domain name, like "gateshosting.com" and it will actually let you know if you have any errors in DNS. Also, I see in one of the headers, the ip address is 127.0.0.1. You probably should have a public ip address. Otherwise some servers will deny your connection. Hope this helps, Michael C. Gates

( begionner) Ok. For me it is clear that my problem has to do with reverse DNS, and not with SPF. Can someone tell me how to setup right configuration for Reverse DNS for the example i gave? Here is also an emailheader from a mail that is bounced: Received: from dedicated ([127.0.0.1]) by dedicated.domain.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830); Sat, 18 Nov 2006 09:55:21 +0100 Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 09:55:21 +0100 Subject: Order 12564 From: "Companyname" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Kevin Chin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: osCommerce Mailer Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=_0546849bb7db32079db89f7fa0271de5" Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Nov 2006 08:55:21.0578 (UTC) FILETIME=[4776D4A0:01C70AEF] The message i receive back: Reporting-MTA: dns;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Received-From-MTA: dns;dedicated Arrival-Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 09:55:21 +0100 Final-Recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Action: failed Status: 5.5.0 Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 Spam refused: is a silly name for a mail server or server has no name.

The RR is brand new and isn't used that much yet. Eventually only the SPF resource record is going to be used. This will take time. Let's not discuss SPF here. If you want to know why it is the user's fault and not the SPF record's fault, let's meet on the spf-discuss mailing list.
