I let my customers use SMTPAUTH to submit SMTP to my server on the submission
port 587, which won't be blocked by the hotel.
That way the mail will be sent from the same server all the time. It also
means that you don't have to keep changing your outbound SMTP settings every
time you move.
I also provide a webmail service on my mail server.

Subject: [spf-discuss] Question about SPF
Apologies for asking a question that has doubtless been asked - and answered -
many times before, but if it is on POBox's website, it is well hidden.
My situation is, I think, fairly common.
Normally, all my mail goes through my company's SMTP server. No problems with
setting up the SPF records for this.
BUT.....
When I'm traveling, I may be using any one of a vast number of different SMTP
servers, such as :
Via a webmail interface, eg, mail2web.com
In a hotel with broadband access that 'helpfully' intercepts all SMTP messages
and sends them through their own SMTP server
Using a dialup account that mandates SMTP goes through its server not a third
party one
etc etc etc
I have no way of knowing when these scenarios will occur, or what the smtp
servers will be.
How does SPF handle this?
Many thanks for any answers
David.
