Looks like it is working now:
220 gold.pobox.com ESMTP Postfix
HELO mail.bmsi.com
250 gold.pobox.com
MAIL FROM: <stuart'at'bmsi.com>
250 Ok
RCPT TO: <dmq'at'pobox.com>
554 <dmq'at'pobox.com>: Recipient address rejected: spf returned DENY:
Please see
http://spf.pobox.com/why.html?sender=stuart'at'bmsi.com&ip=141.156.111.136&receiver=gold.pobox.com
I guess we shamed them into fixing it :-)
We still can't use them as our shining example, however. I just sent an
email from forged'at'pobox.com to dmq'at'bmsi.com and it sailed right
through. Checking pobox's SPF I see:
No valid SPF version 1 records found for pobox.com
I also noticed that amazon.com changed their SPF record from -all to
~all. Looks like bmsi is the only domain we can count on to demonstrate SPF.
