Hello. A newbie question.

Hello there.

I just found in my mail server discussion list a referal to SPF method. I
readed already the docs to set up the TXT records SPF needs in my domain
zone, but I think I'm missing something because when I do the test at SPF
Tools at InfinitePenguins.Net I found this:

spfquery (reference implementation) says:

Received-SPF: unknown (heifong.phase.org: domain of sagonzal@sky.net.co
does not designate permitted sender hosts)
X-SPF-Guess: pass (seems reasonable for sagonzal@sky.net.co to mail through
216.72.197.18)

PHP spf1_parser says:

Received-SPF: unknown (no rule found)

I already register my domain in the infinitepenguins web form but I think
the answer aboce says there is no such record registered.

What I did to my domain zone was to add the two TXT records the wizard told
me to.

What else should I do?.

Thanks in advance for the help

When I use DigIt, I do not see a TXT record published for your domain:

http://us.mirror.menandmice.com/cgi-bin/DoDig?host=&domain=sky.net.co&type=T
XT&recur=on

So, I believe that the spfquery result is correct.

There are SPF guessing rules defined in the spec if no SPF record is found
to be published.

Same as spfquery

Registering is not required for SPF to work.

This does not appear to have spread through the DNS systems yet.

The TXT records have to be in the public DNS records for your domain. If
your domain has a long Time To Live (TTL), then maybe you just need to wait
for the TXT records to propagate.

Also make sure you update the Serial Number of the
DNS zone file, and make sure you stop/start/reload
named.
