According to the lookup I just did, you copied the SPF record from the DreamHost wiki page that you referenced.  That will not work.  Your SPF record does not contain Google's addresses and this will cause all mail sent through Google Apps to be rejected (which I assume isn't what you want).  DreamHost's Wiki is assuming that you will be sending mail form their servers ONLY, which is not the case.

You need to add the following to your MX record. (Add it right before the word "mx" at the end): include:_spf.google.com

You also should change the "-" (hyphen/dash) before the word "all" to a "~" (tilde).

Hmm, now I'm thinking Google Apps is NOT my problem. In checking my logs, I switched over to GApps in March, and send out 2 emails after that via sendmail. . . . My sendmail path is right...

So, I've added SPF records and maybe that will fix things. Hoping DH tech gets back to me but I'm thinking they will be vague as they

For Dreamhost servers, I found their SPF record for DH mail servers and I added one for Google.

You can still use your host's (Dreamhost?) servers to send mail.  Just make sure your SPF record allows it.

I have mail for two of my domains going through Google Apps but I send the emails using the local SMTP servers (LREHosting and Nearly Free Speech) with no problems.

This mailing list is to discuss the nerdy programming development of Dada Mail -

If you are just looking for support Dada Mail, consult the message boards at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/boards

To post to this list, send a message to:

dadadev@dadamailproject.com

All subscribers of this list may post to the list itself.

Some on topic... topics include:

  • Positive Crits on the program (I like, "x", but, "y" needs some work - here's an idea on how to make this better...)
  • Bug/Error reports
  • Bug fixes
  • Request For Comments on any changes to the program
  • Help customizing Dada Mail for your own internal needs
  • Patches
  • Language Translations
  • Support Documentation/Doc editing, FAQ's, etc.
  • Discussion of any changes that you would like to be committed to the next version of Dada Mail -

At the moment, there aren't many people with CVS access for Dada Mail - if you would like CVS access, please first talk about the changes you propose and how it will affect the program. If the idea is sound and agreed upon, the change will be comitted. A good track record of this will allow you to have CVS access. Some reasons that patches will not be accepted is if the patch breaks compatibility with a previous version of the program, the patch is too centric to your own problem or the patch simply isn't very good.

Please, please please familiarize yourself with the documentation at:

http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation/

Since no one wants to answer the same question twice.

Another sneaky reason for this mailing list is to test out the discussion list capabilities of Dada Mail, since Dada Mail is used for the mailing list itself.

NOTE - because of this, there may be times that this list will be somewhat broken. Although we're not planning on breaking the program by using it, we're giving you the heads up that this may well happen anyways.
