I am on version 2.7.1.514 and am seeing a curious spf issue. When I look up oregoniron.com with ip address 209.63.16.2 I get a softfail and the mail is blocked coming in (we block softfails). However when I do the same thing on www.dnsstuff.com I get a pass on the same sender. this is what oregoniron.com has in the dns table....is there an error here?

I'm afraid that oregoniron.com has an incorrect SPF record, and that dnsstuff.com is not performing the correct tests.
I believe if oregoniron is trying to allow the IP 209.63.16.2 to send emails, they should use the "ip4:" directive, not the "a:" one. You can double-check with the official SPF site for an explanation on why the email is being rejected: http://www.openspf.org/why.html?sender=a%40oregoniron.com&am p;ip=209.63.16.2&formwasused=1&debug=0 If an email had originated from one of their mx servers, for exampel 209.63.16.81, then it would have passed the SPF test as seen here: http://www.openspf.org/why.html?sender=a%40oregoniron.com&am p;ip=209.63.16.81&formwasused=1&debug=0 |
