There's no 'pobox' records -- the SPF record goes in the DNS records you publish. Looks like your DNS is provided by "azhosting.biz' -- probably your web provider too, I assume. If they don't let you set DNS records directly, you really should consider switching to someone better. Also, the required data really shouldn't change much. Your local telco probably only has a handful of SMTP servers (if that) and their names probably don't change much. Or, if you're very lucky, _they_ use SPF already, and you can use the 'include:' SPF mechanism to refer to their record once and be done with it. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
