The codeproject.com SPF record is now fixed.

This is some anti-spam advice. When you first added a SPF, you had a -ALL hard failure. This was great because it allowed for fast deterministic rejections of spoofed codeproject.com domain mail. The current one is a SOFTFAIL (~ALL) result which means that receiver systems are no longer sure because YOU are no longer sure. So we most systems WILL NOT reject it. What it does is add pressure to the receiver system to perform heuristic and "iffy" subjective filtering systems and overall, it makes it much harder to filter the spam. The CODE is more complex. You relaxed for business reasons of course, you have "partners" out there that is sending junk to us perhaps. So be it.

But if you want to protect against negative branding of your codeproject.com domain, you will need something stronger. Today, that would be DMARC.

To use a softfail, you will need to add DMARC record to bring back some fast anti-spoofing deterministic. I don't know your mail is DKIM signed, so you will need to do that as well, you can't do DMARC without doing DKIM. Here is a WIZARD that I recently put today for the newer DMARC thing.

All that just because you switched from -ALL to ~ALL SPF record. Smile | :)

Anyway, thanks for the SPF change.
