Spamcop.net SPF misconfiguration?


DontKnow

Recommended Posts

I'm getting a banner in spamcop.net saying that my mailhost bounced e-mail from spamcop.

It looks like spamcop added a new outbound mail server: 184.94.240.88.

The SPF record is:

spamcop.net text = "v=spf1 ip4:184.94.240.89 ip4:184.94.240.112 ip4:204.15.80.0/22 ip4:216.154.195.32/27 ip4:64.88.168.64/27 ?all"

My maillog says that the IP 184.94.240.88 was rejected.

So, I think that it isn't my problem that e-mail from spamcop to me bounced, but instead it is spamcop's problem.

Let me know when this is fixed so that I can clicked the "Problem resolved" button.

That's clearly something you need to discuss with your mailhost.

*My* mailhost?

SPF records are defined by the mail server (via DNS records), in this case spamcop.net.

My mailhost simply enforces SPF record validity so that there are fewer e-mails with forged from addresses.

I've been seeing the same problem..

It looks like a couple of new servers were put online before DNS was updated.

My server has rejected several emails in the last 24 hours from 184.94.240.89 for lack of valid PTR records, leading to the the same bounce warning.

Sorry folks, if you don't have a valid PTR record, have mismatched A and PTR records, or have PTR records pointing at invalid domains, my server won't be talking to you.

email was sent to deputies[at]spamcop.net early this morning.. no response yet.

my messages usually come from [at]spam.spamcop.net, which has not DNS record.

Actually, spam.spamcop.net does have an MX record.

It does not have an A record, which is not required.

>host spam.spamcop.net

spam.spamcop.net mail is handled by 5 vmx.spamcop.net.

184.94.240.88 and .89, on the other hand, have no PTR records.

> host 184.94.240.89

Host 89.240.94.184.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

> host 184.94.240.88

Host 88.240.94.184.in-addr.arpa. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

right, I mean [at]spam.spamcop.net does not have SPF record. It does have the valid MX records that are sufficient to get into my mail server.
