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.
