Hello list!
I operate a mail server that hosts mail for just under 500 domains. My
clientele are real estate agents, most of whom are mobile. I have three
scenarios that I am trying to deal with:
1. Users who use our webmail system, which sends all e-mail out through
the SMTP server mail.vreo.com.
2. Users who use Outlook or some other MUA, and who are configured to
send mail through mail.vreo.com (password authenticated, of course).
3. Users who use an MUA as above, but who send their mail through an
ISP or some other foreign mail server.
Let's say that Joe Schmoe (joe@buylandcuztheyaintmakinganymore.com) sends
his e-mail through mail.vreo.com. My understanding is that in his zone we
would need an SPF record that reads "v=spf1 mx:mail.vreo.com". Is this
correct?
Now, let's say that John Smith
(jsmith@sellyoursoulforahomeinsanfrancisco.com) is sitting at his home, and
he sends an e-mail to AOL that goes out through his ISP's mail server. At
the same time, his web site is sending out confirmation messages through
mail.vreo.com to other AOL users. Where is AOL going to check for an SPF
record? What needs to be in that SPF record in order for John's e-mail to
go through?
Pointers to documentation that goes over these questions would be greatly
appreciated.
