3) I was reading somewhere. I forgot the page that since SenderID is more for hotmail and live.com (Microsoft) then we should verifiy the SMTP servers for the site (ultratrust.com). It's on Google site to validate the SMTP using the SPF record. I was told to go here but I want to ensure that I'm doing everything correctly.

4) Should I be validating with SendID? If so, then could you show me what I need to enter for this page:
https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=senderid&page=support_senderid_options_form_byemail&ct=eformts&scrx=1&st=1&wfxredirect=1

ultratrust.com will be sending out email from mail.ultratrust.com and I believe one of the email servers from bluehost.com (which I think is 18-77.bluehost.com). These email servers are for sending out regular email. As for bulk emails, I'm thinking of using http://smtp.com. The site emailmarketingservices.com is the site that is hosting the email program only so I suppose I won't be including it in the SPF record or the SendID for Microsoft.

Hi bevhost,

1) emailmarketingservicesco.com is the site that is hosting the email program. It won't be doing the actual sending so I suppose I should omit it then. Is this correct?

2) Does the above SPF state that emailmarketingservicesco.com will NOT send email? Doesn't this part in the SPF record state that this site WILL send email?

4) Should I be validating with SendID? If so, then could you show me what I need to enter for this page:
https://support.msn.com/eform.aspx?productKey=senderid&page=support_senderid_options_form_byemail&ct=eformts&scrx=1&st=1&wfxredirect=1

fyi:
ultratrust.com will be sending out email from mail.ultratrust.com and I believe one of the email servers from bluehost.com (which I think is 18-77.bluehost.com). These email servers are for sending out regular email. As for bulk emails, I'm thinking of using http://smtp.com. The site emailmarketingservices.com is the site that is hosting the email program only so I suppose I won't be including it in the SPF record or the SendID for Microsoft.

I know you answered another similar post of mine but I just wanted clarification on these points. I'm still learning about the DNS settings and DKIM and all these issues. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi bevhost,

Thanks for all the info. It's really helpful. I'm still learning the SPF stuff. Once I test the record with ~all then how do I test the SFP to see a "positive result or dunno"?

Once I change the settings to -all then how do I test with the "positive or negative"?

Thanks for all your help =)
