CiviSMTP and SPF?

[mathieu]

Hi,

Regarding SPF, the CiviSMTP FAQ says: "If you use your own custom domain then you will have to set up SPF records yourself. SPF records have to be set up pecifically(typo) for the subdomain you are using with CiviSMTP, for example newsletter.example.org"  c.f. http://www.civismtp.com/drupal/faq

1- if my domain is "newsletter.example.org" is the best practice to use a TXT equivalent to the following example?

Code: [Select]

$ host -t txt example.org
example.org descriptive text v=spf1 ip4:67.212.170.242 ~all"

(where 67.212.170.242 is civismtp.uas.coop, the MX for our domain)

2- Does CiviSMTP have an entry equivalent to _spf.civismtp.com for all CiviSMTP IPs? From my understanding of SPF, it would be safer in the long run?

Thanks,
Mathieu

We recommend you use a  record like this:

v=spf1 mx -all

or this:

v=spf1 mx ip4:67.212.170.242 -all
