Thx Eric. I also think it should have been received, and am puzzled why this particular domain is being dropped.
Is there a quick how to on getting basic spamdyke up and running?

I believe it should have been accepted. See http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Spfbehavior Could be a (rare?) bug of some sort. I've had some problems with SPF in the past. I thought I had backed off to spfbehavior 1, but I see that I'm also running with 3 now. Perhaps was changed with an update, but I don't rightly know. > 2.

You can use the recordio program (see http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/FAQs#How_do_I_use_recordio_to_diagnos e_problems.3F), but a better way is to use spamdyke's full-log-dir feature. > Thx. > > Helmut > > P.S.
