Earlier this month I had an e-mail dialogue with Alex re my
specific issues of the TXT statement for the zone file for
my domain hitz.org
The result was "v=spf1 include:outbound.mailhop.org -all"
as I use mailhop.org for all my SMTP chores. Authentication
is required for SMTP usage.
Part of the dialogue with Alex follows. I typed the ">>>"
lines, he responded (in part) with the ">>" lines.
[hitz(_at_)hitz(_dot_)org - Thu Nov 02 14:58:24 2006]:
I am still receiving "bounced" e-mail messages which are sent
to
<various alpha strings>@hitz.org so that would indicate
someone is still able to send out spam using my domain, yes?
Should this still be happening?
I have seen reports that this will, eventually, go away because your
domain isn't interesting to spammers anymore when you publish an SPF
record.
As can be seen, the question and its answer occurred on
November 2nd. I am STILL receiving bounced e-mail
notifications sent to me with what appears to be machine
genererated four and five character alpha user names (random,
senseless names) @hitz.org My "catch-all" account receives
them.
The quantity of these bounced e-mails is as plentiful as
always indicating to me that something is not working.
They do not appear to be going away.
This process is quite difficult for me to get my hands
(and mind) around to understand just what is going on.
Can someone help, please?
Thanks,
George
