SPF - Pointers to some documentation
Hello guys. Have been into spam control for some mail servers and tis almost effective apart from spam with forged headers; @mydomain.com Some reading around pointed me to Sender Policy Framework but the doc' on their site is rather not adequate. Could someone point me to some content that worked for them? Regards, Mugo

Hi Mugo, It will be good of you point what you have already done so far in your SPF implementation and where exactly you are having hurdles.
From my understanding of SPF apart from the MX you also need to explicitly specify all your outgoing (SMTP) servers, if you have a domain example.comthen in your DNS TXT record you need to have the following entry;
"v=spf1 mx ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx ~all" ~all indicates that the record should allow for a softfail and ip4 basically means IPV4 and the xx is your outgoing server IP, you can have several IPs by separating them with spaces e.g "v=spf1 mx ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx ip4:xx.xx.xx.xx ~all" I cant seem to access site openspf.org but I stumbled on this after googling http://retrohack.com/howtouse-spf-records-to-combat-domain-spoofing/ which gives you a basic overview like above. Good luck! -- ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙ Regards, David Njuki @njukey [Google,Twitter,Yahoo]
