SPF or “Sender Policy Framework” is a technique that aims to prevent email sender spoofing, and ultimately cut spam, it means that senders without a properly configured SPF record may be considered spam.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
But if your business sends out email, and you want to make sure it isn’t marked as spam at your destination, then you might need to look at your SPF records.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The first step is to look at the headers of a received email, by a client that handles SPF, i.e. Gmail, and if you see something like <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">spf=softfail ( domain of transitioning does not designate as permitted sender) , </strong>this means SPF is not configured correctly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
So, lets say, you know the sender is going to have IP address 1.2.3.4 – i.e. your outbound SMTP server. and your sender email is whatever@me.com – you need to then add a DNS TXT record to the domain me.com with the text</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 ~all</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
For the host “@” (non-www)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Then try sending the email again, and view the headers on the message, and it should say</div>
<pre style="background: url(https://s0.wp.com/wp-content/themes/pub/inove/img/blockquote.gif) 3px 3px no-repeat rgb(244, 245, 247); border: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); color: #555555; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px; padding: 8px 12px 8px 36px;">Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of whatever@me.com designates 1.2.3.4 as permitted sender) client-ip=1.2.3.4;</pre>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Verdana, 'BitStream vera Sans', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
This will come into play big time if you use <a href="http://www.directtomx.com/" style="color: #2970a6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Direct to MX </a>software, or <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/ses/" style="color: #2970a6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Amazon SES</a></div>

<br />
Using NameBench (http://code.google.com/p/namebench/), and running the test, it looks as if Google DNS is actually slower than local services, and popular global ones:<br />

<br />
I've often used ZoneCheck to test if DNS is set up correctly, but it doesn't give an indication of performance,<br />
for that, I'd recommend https://www.ultratools.com/tools/dnsHostingSpeedResult - Check for "A" record response, where you should aim to get a response time of 50ms or less.<br />
<br />
Here is a speed check of this blog, which is hosted by Google.<br />

It is designed to give developers and businesses a reliable and cost effective way to route end users to Internet applications by translating human readable names like <i>www.example.com</i> into the numeric IP addresses like <i>192.0.2.1</i> that computers use to connect to each other. Route 53 effectively connects user requests to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services (AWS) -- such as an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, or an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket -- and can also be used to route users to infrastructure outside of AWS.</span></p> <p> <span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">A reliable, cloud-based DNS service has been one of the most requested offerings by our customers. With Route 53, you can create a "hosted zone" to add DNS records for a new domain or transfer DNS records for a domain you currently own. Route 53 is also designed to work well with other AWS offerings, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). By using AWS IAM with Route 53, you can control who in your organization can make changes to your DNS records. In the future, we plan to add additional integration features such as the ability to automatically tie your Amazon Elastic Load Balancer instances to a DNS name, and the ability to route your customers to the closest EC2 region.</span></p> <span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Route 53 is also designed to be fast and simple. It uses a global network of DNS servers to respond to end users with low latency and has an easy-to-use, self-service API. There are no long-term contracts or minimum usage commitments for using Route 53 - you pay $1.00 per month for the hosted zones you manage, $0.50 per million queries for the first billion queries, and $0.25 per million queries above a billion.</span>Dananoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07993609941921275028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479100761579052138.post-88180325088442681322010-12-06T01:48:00.000-08:002010-12-06T01:49:43.531-08:00Smart Team Networks Sdn Bhd disowned by .MY registry<big><small><span style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">.my DOMAIN REGISTRY is pleased to update you on the status of our Resellers.<br /><br />We currently have 61 Resellers.

However, if all you need is a short second level domain name for SEO purposes, then ic.cz is a Czech service that gives away these domains for free.<br /><br />The webhosting is advertising supported, which is a downside though. Otherwise EU.SK offers a cheap Slovak 2nd level domain nameDananoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07993609941921275028noreply@blogger.com0
