Sender Policy Framework

[Lost]

I have been having a problem with spammers forging email addresses from one of the domains hosted on my interworx server. I am receiving hundreds of bounced messages everyday and I want to enable sender policy framework (SPF) to help combat the email spoofing problem. Can someone please instruct me on how I can add a TXT record to my DNS server as I am not familiar with tinydns and don’t know how to add this record to the zone.

Lost,

Sorry for the crazy-late reply. We'll add in TXT support to the main interface of NodeWorx on the next release. We *may* add in SPF support at some point as well, but the DNS addition is easy and should be there anyway.

Great! Thanks Chris..
In the meantime I'm redirecting all my double-bounced messages to a 'blackhole' so it doesn't keep filling my inbox.

Lost,

Check out this link to solve the double bounce issue:

Search for "Flush double-bounces". Btw, TXT recs won't make it into the 1.8.1 incremental release but *will* be in the 1.9.
