Hi Moshe, Thanks that is very helpful. I actually added two SPF records...one that Google Apps generated (DKIM) and one that was the Dreamhost one from their wiki so basically I had 2 spfs covering ALL mail servers (Google and Dreamhost)--I think. I sent myself a test email at 6:25 p.m. and I actually got it! Woo hoo. But I've modified the Dreamhost SPF to include the google one as you recommended and will test again. And BINGO, it works. Could be too that DH tech support did something on their end (I ...Continue Reading

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): ...Continue Reading

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. http://wiki.dreamhost.com/SPF K On 6/4/12 4:34 PM, Moshe Katz wrote: ...Continue Reading

Create a subdomain (like "list.plgcsa.org") on the host's web site and an email address (like "list@PROTECTED").  Then set Dada Mail to log in to the local SMTP server as " list@PROTECTED ".  Once you have logged in, you should be able to use any address you want as the "From" address of the list, whether it is on the domain or the subdomain. According to http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html?, plgcsa.org currently has no spf record. If you want to cre ...Continue Reading

Hi Moshe, Thanks for the tip. So you're using SMTP then and not sendmail. What do you use for the login/pw then for SMTP? In looking at DadaMail FAQ: http://dadamailproject.com/support/documentation-4_9_1/FAQ-email_sending.pod.html#dada_mail_and_google_apps_for_domains It says that you can use local mail servers but you  can't use an email address that is managed by Google Apps (e.g. list owner email I'm assuming). Also, when you created the SPF record, I just did that in Google Apps ...Continue Reading

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.

Ahah, here is the article I found on Dada Mail and Google Apps for Domains... http://dadamailproject.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/dadadev/20100429215003/ Sighhhhh. ...Continue Reading

Hey Justin, You know, your last comment triggered something that is probably what the issue is (but not with houseofcakes.com) My houseofcakes.com email is not the domain I'm sending from. It's for my CSA that I run, so the domain is plgcsa.org and BINGO...that's what's going on now that you mentioned it! I did switch their email over to GApps. So, now the question is, how do you send from DadaMail if you are using Google to manage your domain's email? Is there a KB for DadaMail on this? Would this be SMTP (thus ...Continue Reading
