Thank you so much Kevin for taking your time to look this up.
I know that there should not be a problem with the SPF records as all I
need to do is to add a TXT record.
Practically
;---some otherstuff above
in TXT "And the SPF record here as in the sample posted"
;--more stuff below
It's a crued but allowed way to do it, and at least it allows my mail
servers to communicate with gmail. yahoo and hotmail.
I have a fairly good understanding of the underlying concept of DNS
servers, packets, bit counting both forward and reversed, but it's the
config sturcture of BIND I dont get.
One file here, another there and a gunk load of lines for something any
average windows person as my self would consider removing half thereof.
(^^) Of course with the nasty side effect that nothing is working, just
like now. / sigh. Welll.. on it again I guess. Tomorrow is another day.
Thanks again for replying.
