We've had customers asking us for a simple SPF wizard to help generate Sender Policy Framework (SPF) data. There are a few out there, but we have set up one at wizard.easySPF.com or spfwizard.com.

As we iron out any usability bugs we will roll out some integration hooks to make it easier to pull the output from the wizard into your zonedata, but for now it's the old cut-and-paste.

EasySPF wizard - you guys rock

Hi,

I set up an SPF record for my domain some years ago. Lately I've been hoping that having it might cut down on the amount of spam backscatter I get, much of which is from Microsoft Hotmail servers.

After several (typically inefficient) e-mail exchanges with Microsoft/Hotmail support, I came away with the idea--though I never could get them to admit it--that Microsoft/Hotmail doesn't even look at a domain's SPF record unless that domain has been signed up with their "Sender ID Program" at (the rather well-hidden):

http://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=senderid&page=support_senderid_options_form_byemail&ct=eformts

Anyone know if this is correct?

Anyway, I submitted my domain to the "program" and later got an e-mail, "we were unable to find any SPF record associated with this domain", even though everyone else seems to see it just fine. Hosers.

I wonder if EasyDNS could support DKIM, which has far more protection than SPF in any of its variants.

You could use DomainKeys now since it's just another type of data to load into a TXT record.

We can always look at adding DKIM support to easySPF so users could generate either/both.

I am in favor of you adding DKIM support to your wizard.
