I’m not convinced my first attempt at a SPF record worked. I’ve sinced found this SPF Setup Wizard, a nice introduction and also a detailed description of the SPF syntax.
There are also some validators that might be useful:
It’s just come to my attention that emails sent to my wife’s address via our domain hosted on ZoneEdit are now being bounced by Hotmail as suspect spam. I wonder if this is something to do with the new Windows Live Hotmail service.
Of course they’re not spam, and this threw me for a bit.
The bounced emails contain a link to various resources about how to fix the problem.
A quick search of Google on “hotmail zoneedit” hinted that it might be possible to add extra detail to DNS to placate hotmail.
I then found Microsoft’s Sender ID Framework SPF Record Wizard, which builds a SPF record for your domain.
In Step 1, I entered my domain - gardiner.net.au
In Step 2, it confirmed that A and MX records are available but no SPF record was found.
In Step 3, I checked the following options:
I’m not completely sure that this is correct, but it seems the best choices at first glance. I de-selected the “All addresses listed in A records may send mail” option, as as far as I can tell, the IP addresses in the A records for gardiner.net.au don’t resolve back to the email servers.
Step 4 then generates the SPF record, which you copy to the clipboard.
Back in ZoneEdit, you can add a TXT record to contain the SPF data via the Advanced Records heading.
So now, I sit back and wait and see if Hotmail is any happier.
I’ve just been asked by Peter Griffith if I could fill in as speaker this month at the Adelaide Dotnet User Group.
I’d already been in contact with Peter regarding the forthcoming CodeCampSA with some ideas for topics:
Looks like I’ll be getting the content for the unit testing talk ready ahead of schedule :-)
