Let's say I have 4 outbound SMTP servers:
smtpout1.bar.com
smtpout2.bar.com
smtpout3.bar.com
smtpout4.bar.com
I have two inbound SMTP servers that are listed by MX records.
mxin1.bar.com
mxin2.bar.com
I'm thinking I need a SPF record that looks something like this.
bar.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a:smtpout1.bar.com a:smtpout2.bar.com a:smtpout3.bar.com a:smtpout4.bar.com ~all"
But should I also include my SMTP inboud servers into this SPF record even though they are for inbound email only and if so would all I have to do is just add the 'mx ' into the SPF record, something like this:
bar.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 mx a:smtpout1.bar.com a:smtpout2.bar.com a:smtpout3.bar.com a:smtpout4.bar.com ~all"
So, I'm just trying to see how the best way to create the SPF record.
Thanks,
Shawn

Hi,
I don't really know what is being ment with this statement. Could you
explain your specific setup a bit, maybe it helps getting a picture.
