Any time I try emailing anything NZ government related/associated (councils, schools etc), my emails fail with a SPF failure. Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 SPF Sender Invalid - envelope rejected

 

Yet appears to work to send to anyone/anywhere else.

 

My SPF has been in place for a number of years and never caused any issues, only change recently was I moved mail provider, and updated relevant record.

 

v=spf1 mx a ip4:103.121.34.8 a:mail.xpd.co.nz -all  is what I'm using.

 

Am i missing something ?

XPD and I swapped some IM's on this and I helped him with some simple testing.

 

 

The people who're refusing his email are doing so because it's arriving to them from a relay outside his SPF record.

 

 

The fact it's mostly government organisations he's experiencing it with is slightly red-herring; many government mail systems enforce SPF now.

 

Anyway problem solved :)
