Whan I checked just now, I got different result than few hours ago: ...before: % spf nawilliams.com. nawilliams.com has SPF record "v=spf1 mx ptr ~all" % txt nawilliams.com. nawilliams.com descriptive text "v=spf1 mx ptr ~all" ...now: % spf nawilliams.com nawilliams.com has SPF record "v=spf1 mx -all" Looking at it more deeply, nawilliams.com has three nameservers (but only 2 delegations from .com), where two return -all and one returns ~all: % dig spf nawilliams.com @beulah.zootsplace.com. nawilliams.com. 30 IN SPF "v=spf1 mx -all" % dig spf nawilliams.com @edna.zootsplace.com. nawilliams.com. 30 IN SPF "v=spf1 mx ptr ~all" % dig spf nawilliams.com @hortense.zootsplace.com. nawilliams.com. 30 IN SPF "v=spf1 mx -all" I take this as DNS error. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
