Guillermo,
If mail is being rejected when no spf records are set up, then we need
further information. If the default setting is rejecting mail
incorrectly then details should be provided so that we can look into
fixing this in the mainstream branch.
Thanks,
Erik

Just to be a bit more clear, I used 2 mailserver to determine what was
happening. None of the two servers had the SPF set up. As you said with
the level 3 it was supposed to accept the email (and before a week or
so) all mails were beeing recieved between this two email servers. Last
week I started having problems and was a bit confused, after I started
checking the logs I noticed about the SPF (something I didn't know about
until then) So I added in My DNSs the SPF registry and the mail started
to be accepted again.
I am very greatful for all the help and I think I understand a bit more
about the SPF, and I have lowered the SPF value
Thanks again.
