Hi,

I'm getting bouncebacks for emails I'm sending in response to flat(share) ads using your email interface.

The mails you generate are not SPF conformant. Look
http://www.openspf.org

If you put in the sender's address as typed in the respective field of your response mask, don't use this address for the envelope sender / return path. A domain name of yours (e.g. gumtree.com) belongs there.

Example faulty mail header:

Return-Path: <xxx@mymailprovider.com>
Received: from eul0001068.eu.verio.net (eul0001068.eu.verio.net [127.0.0.1] (may be
forged))
by eul0001068.eu.verio.net (8.13.4/8.13.4/Debian-3sarge3) with ESMTP id kB6IB45R009006
for <info@xxxestates.com>; Wed, 6 Dec 2006 18:11:04 GMT
Received: (from nobody@localhost)
by eul0001068.eu.verio.net (8.13.4/8.13.4/Submit) id kB6IB4av008997;

You might also want to add an SPF record to your zone file. This is optional if you just want to get around these problems.

Hi twobit,

Thanks - strangely enough we are aware of this and working on it!

Cheers
