Hi,

Hi, Richard.

I've never configured SPF, I don't even know if my version of courier supports SPF (I'm using 0.44.2)

This is not a Courier issue, but a DNS issue.

A client is having some trouble when using authenticated smtp. The server on the other end is complaining about SPF records, I get this bounce:

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <chic@joimail.com> (reason: 550 SPF NONE, if sender valid send to allo@joimail.com more info see http://mail.joimail.com/allow.htm)

What's happening is your friend's ISP is rejecting all email that either fails SPF or has no SPF records (WOW!!!). The instructions are fairly clear...if the sender is valid (you're here asking about it, so you must be), send email to allo@joimail.com. I'm assuming that 64.80.255.252 is the IP address of your relay.

The other option is to add SPF records for your domain (presumably americas.net). If you own the domain, you can add the record yourself (go to http://spf.pobox.com/ to help you create the right entries) or you can ask your ISP to add the record.

It sounds like it might be easier to just email the specified address.
