Gmail, SPF, and broken Email Forwarding

A user posted the following on slashdot.org:

"Background: Like many people, I have me@mydomain.com as my public facing Email address. When Email comes into my server, I forward it to me@gmail.com. But since my friend has published SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records that say only his server is allowed to send Emails for friend@frienddomain.com, gmail apparently rejects (silently buries actually!) the Email since it is forwarding through my server. Please note that this is exactly what SPF is designed to prevent — spammers from sending Emails with your address — but it breaks forwarding and has other problems. ...<< MORE >>

XP SP3 hits Automatic Updates

Starting today, Windows XP computers configured with Automatic Updates will begin to download and (depending on the configuration) install Service Pack 3. There are a few minor new features aiming to  benefit corporations that are still using this OS, other than that, no real improvements that ordinary/home users will benefit or see from it. Microsoft have ceased the distribution of Windows XP on June 30th, the only way users will able to obtain XP on a new system is perhaps have the manufacturers install it (downgrade) as an option, install it themselves, or buy an Ultra Low-Cost PC (ULCPC). ...<< MORE >>

First blog site / First blog

About me:

My name is Peter Nguyen. I'm currently 27 years old and will be turning 28 the end of this June. I'm currently working in the field of IT at a well known internet site. I'm currently proudly serving in the Navy Reserve, prior to joining the Reserve, I served on Active Duty for 6 years from 98 to 2004.

The reason for this blog site is because of an encouragement of a co-worker, Jeffrey McFerson. We have been using Exchange 2007 and Windows 2008 in our work environment and have ran into several roadblocks. All of which were eventually resolved, however, not many of our challenges are posted on the internet due to the fact that these are fairly new products. So, to gauge the interests of the technical community I posted a question/poll on linkedin.com and have received great encouragements from those who have responded. So, here I am with my first blog site hoping that the information that I post from hereon will help someone somewhere in the future.

So, the plan for this blog is for me to write about things that I learn from work and on my own research. Topics can range anywhere from Asterisk to Zimbra, however, most likely will be concentrated on Windows 2003 & 2008, Active Directory, Exchange 2007, Powershell scripting, VoIP. Any ideas or comments please feel free to drop me a line here. Thanks.


Cheers,
Peter Nguyen
