Morning… I have been trying to set up an SPF record on my domain for sending email through the Brightbox SMTP relay as explained in the Wiki: v=spf1 a mx a:smtp-senders.brightbox.net -all I sent messages to check-auth@verifier.port25.com and some pass and some fail. On the failed ones I am told that the message has been sent through smtpout.karoo.kcom.com (212.50.160.34). The recommendation is that I change my SPF record to: v=spf1 a mx a:smtp-senders.brightbox.net a:smtpout.karoo.kcom.com -all Is that the correct thing to do, or am I doing something else wrong? Does the senders list need updating? Thank you! |

Hi Chris, mail sent through our relays should never go via any host on the kcom.com domain, or that IP (neither of which are associated with us at all), so I don’t know what is going on there. Our senders list is up to date. Make sure your app is configured to use some 3rd party relay of some kind. John. |

Thanks John. I should have googled the karoo.kcom.com address before bothering you as it turns out it belongs to my development ISP, so I obviously managed to run some of my tests in development mode by accident, further confused by the email replies arriving late and out of order. Yes, I’m an idiot. Chris. |
