My understanding was that SPF stopped emails coming from what was apparently the wrong server for the domain. e.g. my email address is [email protected]. If I send any email it has that 'From' address, no matter which server I send it through. If I send this via the server where my domain is registered - in my case my own server, but previously the server belonging to my ISP - then it is accepted. However if I send an email with my 'From' address ([email protected]) via my cellphone company's server then it will be rejected by the recipient as that server is not in my domain's DNS record. Note that I have to use their server if I send an email via my phone (at least that's true unless I use my own webmail). >From the OpenSPF website: >When an AOL user sends mail to you, an email server that belongs to AOL > connects to an email server that belongs to you.

Have I misunderstood? Gary. _______________________________________________ xmail mailing list [email protected] http://xmailserver.org/mailman/listinfo/xmail
