Well I'll admit I'm only skimming the rehashed arguments of SPF going on elsewhere but I think I'm missing your objection to the domain or something. >I didn't say the domain didn't look right.

And I note: >> NameServer: SJC-DNS1.EBAYDNS.COM >> NameServer: SJC-DNS2.EBAYDNS.COM >> NameServer: SMF-DNS1.EBAYDNS.COM >> > nslookup emailebay.com >> >> Name: emailebay.com >> Address: 216.33.156.118 >> >> > whois 216.33.156.118 >> >> OrgName: Savvis >> OrgID: SAVVI-2 Check. >Looks quite a bit different to me. Agreed, but if we go back to the whois for emailebay.com: >> SJC-DNS2.EBAYDNS.COM 66.135.207.138 >> SMF-DNS1.EBAYDNS.COM 66.135.223.137 >> SJC-DNS1.EBAYDNS.COM 66.135.207.137 Now I kind of figure that if eBay's nameservers are pointing the domain to that IP it doesn't really matter who the registered owner of the IP is. Now given Savvis turned up within the past week or so as a screwed up mail server for EasyJet I'm happy to believe that they're completely legitimate delegated server for sending mail for eBay. In other words, yes - the IP is registered to Savvis not eBay and that doesn't seem ideal/completely standard for eBay, but given the companies involved and the rest of the DNS entries I don't really understand why you say you're "_highly_ skeptical that emailebay.com has anything to do with ebay.com." I can understand being highly sceptical that they send mail of any value for eBay, but they appear to have some kind of legit relationship from my quick checks. Kevin
