We have a web application that uses the client email to send email 'from'. We want to add an SPF record on the client's DNS (text records) to allow this. I need to confirm the syntax before I do so.

v=spf1 a mx a:mail.domain.com mx:domain.com ip4:XX.XX.XXX.XX ~all

Select all Open in new window

"domain" being their domain name
XX.XX.XXX.XX being the IP of the server that hosts the web application

Please let me know if you think this looks correct or if any changes are needed.. Also what is the difference between mail.domain.com  and  domain.com

Hi,

Had issues with ActiveSYnc timing out on Exchange 2010 SP2 RU4. Updated the server to SP3 RU17 on May 20th.
Only the activesync timeout problem for 3 Users existed prior to this update. These activesync issues remain for the three Users (not the focus of this question) and new issues are seen (focus of this question):

Total of 15 Users out of 250+ affected with this new problem. These Users are not the same with the ActiveSync issue:
1) For SOME Users all shared mailboxes in Outlook no longer populate with emails or auto-update immediately after the updates.
2) For SOME Users, this issue appeared to start a full week later.
3) For ONE User, only one of three shared mailboxes in Outlook are not auto-updating.
4) Selecting the folder in Outlook ,choosing the 'Send/ Receive' tab and selecting 'Download Headers' then 'Update Folder', allows the emails in these shared boxes to populate with new emails (since the last time this process was manually run).
5) Win7 Pro for all but two Users, who are on Win10.

What I have tried (not necessarily in this order):
1) New Outlook profiles
2) New Win7/ 10 User Profiles. Tried this because loading two of these Users' profiles onto a different, unused laptop works fine.
3) Deleting the .OSTs manually and rebuilding
4) Cached Mode/ Online Mode
5) Deleting the autodiscover xml record in the Outlook profile folder. Did this in case that file was corrupted and was not pulling the shared mailbox info properly.
6) Saw a …

I am trying to setup subscriptions through our reports server generate reports and have them automatically emailed to external addresses.
I am using SQL Server 2012
Reporting Services Configuration Manager
Email settings:
Sender address: jrichards@mydomain.com
current smtp delivery method: use smtp server
smtp server: smtp.mydomain.com


WE do not have a local smtp server setup so if I can use google smtp or some other method to send mails from the reports server that would be great.

Thanks for your assistance:

I have a domain a purchased through GoDaddy. I then am using HawkHost to send and receive emails. I changed the MX records accordingly.

For some reason, I can send messages but I can't receive them? Any idea what would cause this? Is there anything other than the MX records I should be changing on GoDaddy?

Also kinda strange... if I do the Outlook "Test Email" the message ends up coming through. That is the only message that makes it into the inbox.

Dear Sir,

We have a software to send bulk emails to our clients which contains the course materials. When sending the bulk emails, there are lots of error/time-out which the destination mail server reject our emails. I've solved the problem for those @gmail.com by adding a record on our DNS server to proof we are not the spammer. But yahoo and hotmail not solved yet. Are they have this mechanism?

Thank you.

With regards,
Wataw

What's the easiest way to move from pop3 to imap on multiple devices?
Pretty sure the mac stuff (iphone, ipad & possibly mac book) are currently using imap, but the PC (desktop & laptop) is the one that makes me nervous. I can envision myself with hundreds, if not thousands of duplicate emails to sort through when its all said & done!

Hi Experts exchange.  I have an application that sends emails upon completing a arduous process.  Ie.. we have to create a permit and inspect it and what not for the email function to fire off from the application.  Our email functionality has been suspect and I was wondering if there was a quick and easy way to send an smtp request to our smtp server from a command line to quickly test functionality without having to create the permit and inspect it.
Does anyone know how to do this.
the server is windows 2012.

if someone could type the syntax or command, that would be awesome.

example variables you could use.   the sendto address is BigDoggy@gmail.com   the smtp server address is 192.168.1.100  the hostname of the server trying to send the email is bigsun with ip address 192.168.1.101

those are fictious settings above but just wanted to be able to tie logic to syntax.
Can someone help me out.

If we have valid SSL cerfiticate for server/client authentication, is there any reason to have a TLS certificate?
Asking because I'm receiving the following event frequently in event viewer

"There is no valid SMTP Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate for the FQDN of exchangecas.cfwebmasters.com. The existing certificate for that FQDN has expired. The continued use of that FQDN will cause mail flow problems. A new certificate that contains the FQDN of exchangecas.cfwebmasters.com should be installed on this server as soon as possible. You can create a new certificate by using the New-ExchangeCertificate task."

Also should expired certificates be removed?

We are receiving email from external whose email header display a different "Reply-To" address than the "From" address

such as

From: External User <jane@abc.com>

To: Internal User <julia@abc.com>

Reply-To: External User <jane@ourspamfilter.com>

The reply to is appending to our spam filter that we use for incoming and outgoing mail

Hallo I recently move my company to Office365 and I add the SPF record as Microsoft provide. I would like to know if I will add +a to the SPF will work as I expect or I will have problem.

My OS is win 10 pro 64 bit and I have the Office 365 and use Outlook owa.  i managed to switch on Conversations and it is now very convenient as I am able to review the response I sent.  
But sometimes an email is outside the conversation, but it is relevant to that topic.  Is there any way I can lump them to a conversation.  Attached is an example.  i would like to add the email at 6.08 PM to the conversation below with the others.  Thank u for your response
