Re: [spf-discuss] mail users with multiple identities

Thanks for the replies.



The problem I encountered was that the user had changed his ISP provider but is still using his old email address. So that an e-mail apparently from tiscali.co.uk is coming from a bt.com server. Truly an SPF failure and entirely beyond my control.

I can indeed find out the mail servers which are being used to send northumbrianpipers.org.uk e-mails and add them to my SPF records. That was what I had thought of doing, but I wondered if there was a simpler way.

I conclude that there is a real difficulty on the horizon as SPF rolls out. Until now, I for one haven't really cared which smtp server I used for outgoing mail. With multiple e-mail accounts, I have simply used the smtp server over which I have most control. I now find that both the e-mail programs I use, Thunderbird and Pegasus now change their SMTP settings with identity and I am just trying to get a working outlook express to see how that works (sigh!)

Thanks a lot

Barry
