I work for a small company, and SPF is new to me. We have our own domain,
and email we send has our domain in the address, but that's about as far as
my company has gone in terms of email strategy. We can send email through
our ISP's SMTP server (sbcglobal.net) from within the office, and employees
are using whatever they want when they are out of the office. I was asked
by my boss to come up with something more workable. His big concern is that
he does not want our email to appear to be spam.
Currently, there are a handful of servers not under our control that our
employees are using. It's not clear to me what the TXT record would have to
look like in this case. More likely, I will suggest something more rational
such as having all mail go though sbcglobal.net, which can be done with
authentication, or perhaps look into having somebody host an email server
for us, or set up our own. But since it's the outgoing SMTP server that's
ultimately relevant now, that's more of an immediate issue than a full blown
email server. I'd like to know how to work SPF into these scenarios, and
would appreciate any advice on the relative merits of different solutions.
