Hi all,
My first message hope it gets to someone in the know...
I have bought my own domain on a shared host which I'd like to use PHPList on, which is configured to use my Google Apps domain hosted account (my credentials with smtp.gmail.com) to send the newsletters.
I'm trying to use the SPF wizard having come across the SPF site to create one of these SPF records, trying to do the right thing etc, but am failing at the first hurdle.
The first thing I came up with from the example on the SPF site regarding googleapps is the following but I'm not sure now that I've looked at the wizard whether that on its own is correct?
mydomain.co.uk. TXT "v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all"
I have about 5 google mx records as per googleapps setup instructions.
Wizard:
I've entered my domain name of my web site and clicked on begin.
[a] Does my web host server send mail from my domain?
I think so, PHPList is set up to use smtp account at gmail though, but if this means does this web server pass mail on, I guess it must do to use the smtp settings at gmail?
[mx] MX records, the wizard has found more than just those set up as per google apps instructions, all appear to relate to google though. I only have google mx records set up on this domain. Do these mx servers also send mail from my domain?
Unsure, email is either sent from PHPList using gmail's smtp with my credentials, or from Outlook using my gmail smtp settings, or google apps web interface.
[ptr] I'm guessing from the comments on ptr that the answer should be no?
[a:] Do any other servers send mail from my domain?
I don't use my isp's smtp, as mentioned above, my mx records point to the googleapps domain hosted service.
[mx:]?
[ip4]?
[include:] Do i need to include my isp somewhere as what ever ip address i'm allocated when connecting to the internet with t-mobile, although i dont use t-mobile's smtp do i still need to include t-mobile as the server connecting me to the internet, i'm guessing it's transferring email when i send it, to gmail's smtp, but does that mean it originated from my isp's server, and thus should be included here?
[~all] Im guessing this would be yes, once I know what is correct with the above?
I hope someone can off me some help please...
Kind regards
Justin
