|    Mimecast Email Trouble    |
|    06 Sep 25 00:01:41    |
      From: ldo@nz.invalid              A client of mine has a customer that keeps mailboxes on outlook.com. But       if you look at the MX records for their domain, they point at       mimecast.com.              So staff at my client send an email to this customer (actually a reply to       a previous email from them) from their own domain, which has an SPF       record. Mimecast receives the mail, does something or other to it (I have       no idea what, and no interest in finding out), and tries to pass it on to       outlook.com.              outlook.com sees the sender address for that mail is at my client’s       domain. Checking the corresponding SPF record, they see that nobody is       authorized to send mail from that domain other than my client’s own       machines (of course). So the mail forwarded from Mimecast gets rejected.              Should my client (and myself) have to worry about internal mail screwups       at other companies? Seems to me, if this lot want to use both mimecast.com       and outlook.com, they need to have some way to tell their outlook.com       service to accept any and all mail forwarded from mimecast.com.              And if they can’t figure that out, it should be their problem, not ours.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
