SPF is nice to have until your users get random denials of sending email. A great site to help make one is <a href="http://old.openspf.org/wizard.html" rel="ugc">http://old.openspf.org/wizard.html</a><br />
<br />
I've over done one for paragon-claims.com as an example. Also good to check your dns running the dns report from dnsstuff.com. <br />
<br />
Another good thing to do is to make sure you have reverse dns setup with your ISP correctly. &nbsp;

Hello - I just setup a new Windows SBS 2008, Standard server and am able to send email internally using Exchange 2007, however I am not having any luck sending or receiving email. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
What obvious configuration in EMC 2007 am I forgetting to setup?<br />
<br />
Many thanks.
