And finally, if I use GFI to do spam blocking for me, my SPF record

This says: My mail might come from my server directly, or from one of
those GFI mail servers, but if not any of those, REJECT the message as
being false...
This is a little confusing. GFI provides outbound email services
(which this relates to) in addition to spam blocking, which is an
inbound service. Setting up your SPF record applies only to your
outbound email. The inbound portion of SPF is controlled simply by the
spfbehavior file. Just want to be clear in this respect.
Thanks for your great reply, Dan!
LOL - I don't even think about it anymore... but GFI does SPAM blocking
on both inbound AND outbound mail -- and some of my clients want the
"stability" that comes from a larger service provider with a broader
array of SMTP servers (that way, if a server gets blocked because of
some RBL, there are plenty of others to pick up the slack while the
admins remove the block).
I didn't mean for it to be confusing!
