Imagine [email protected] e-mails [email protected], but bob has set up
e-mail forwarding to [email protected]
[email protected] -> [email protected] -> [email protected]
Standard scenario.
But then... the e-mail is forwarded outside, to mx.bbc.com.
Because the envelope from address is not modified, mx.bbc.com will
reject the e-mail because the SPF record tells it to: mx.zimbra.com
is not permitted to send e-mail from example.com.
Did you mean:
[email protected] -> [email protected] -> not([email protected]) ->
[email protected]? I don't see why that is revelant for this thread.
No, not at all. Just alice@example -> bob@zimbra -> [email protected]
The second paragraph is just talking about the MTAs involved. alice's
email initially ends up at mx.zimbra.com, since that's the mta for
[email protected]. mx.zimbra.com then sends it to mx.bbc.com, since that is
the MTA for [email protected]. mx.bbc.com rejects it because mx.zimbra.com
isn't allowed to send email from [email protected].
It sounds like my original thought should work, due to recurrsion, so I'll
give that a go. Thanks!
