Dkim And Spf

[wfitg]

Am I the only one too stupid to understand how to configure DKIM and SPF?

Every time i think I have this configured correctly one of the "BiG" email providers like Hotmail/Outlook/Google changes the rules of the game.

Here is a bounce:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  [url=mailto:user@hotmail.com]user@hotmail.com[/url]
    SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:
    host mx3.hotmail.com [207.46.8.167]: 550 5.7.0 (BAY004-MC5F5) Message could not be delivered. Please ensure the message is RFC 5322 compliant.

What can be done server-side to make the users' default DKIM and SPF work correctly? None of the users know or understand what these are. They only know how to go to cPanel and enable them.

In my case they are sending and receiving from their 'domain.com. But they are actually sending and receiving from the WHM's mail server.

Anyone have experience with this annoyong topic?

Depends on the control panel, I've set my domain up for them and DMARC but mine was easy you will need to make records for each one.

Use this sexy little tool for SPF: http://www.anti-spamtools.org/ Not sure how you do it on cPanel though.

Been there and used that, but thanks anyway. It was not much help. My issue is somewhere in DNS and name server config.

Do you want to add SPF etc for every new account or just your domain? If so you need to look up Exim docs for it mate.

I found the problem. When using a contact form on a website always specify a "From" address. Otherwise Hotmail/Outlook will reject it. Hotmail seems to be the only one doing this. feh...
