Linkit SPF Filtering

Was it you that was heard saying that you receive too much Junk Email?

Linkit Internet Services is proud to state that our Email Server which includes domain names hosted by Linkit Internet Services uses SPF (Sender Policy Framework).

SPF Filtering is designed to reduce the avenues for unscrupulous Spammers by rejecting email sent from any email address where the domain name in that address does not match the domain name in the sending mail server. ie if you are using your own domain name in your email address (fred@fredbloggs.com) and have your outgoing email (SMTP) server name set as your ISP's (eg. mail.bigpond.com) then your emails will be rejected by the Linkit Mail Server and an error message will be bounced back to you.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may occur to you but we do not apologise to anyone for taking a proactive step towards the reduction of SPAM.

Here is the solutions to the problem:

Solution 1: Select the email address that is supplied to you by your ISP to send your emails.

Solution 2: If you desire to send email using your own domain name.
As the majority of email users use Outlook Express these instructions are targeted towards that program. Other email programs can also be configured similarly.

Step 1: Open Outlook Express and go to "Tools" - "Accounts" - select the appropriate email account that you are trying to send from and click on "Properties"

Step 2: Click on the "Servers" tab and change your Outgoing Server (SMTP) name to match your email domain name (You may need to check with you domain name host to confirm the correct setting).
Also be aware that some ISP's do not allow other domain names to use their Outgoing Servers to send email unless the domain name is hosted by them.

Some statistics state that nearly 75% of all e-mail traffic is Spam, so it is important to take some proactive action in order to reduce this simply to reduce the amount of traffic flowing through cyberspace. This will aslo help to reduce the amount of viruses floating around and possibly into your computer.

The solutions and descriptions mentioned here are aimed to assist mere mortals.
