Mail Priority: 10
Mail Server (FQDN): asmx01.boltonsmith.com.


Outbound Filtering - Mail Relay

  • Once your IP address(es) is registered with our system you can setup your mail server to relay all outbound email to: asout01.boltonsmith.com on port 25


Sender Framework Policy

  • Setting up SPF DNS entries will minimize non-deliveries through outbound.
    • Add the following TXT Records to your Authoritative DNS Server(s):
      • [your domain]. IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.[your domain] -all"
      • spf.[your domain]. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:69.90.54.0/28 ip4:[your IP allocations] ~all"
        • [your domain] is the domain you use for outgoing mail Note: The Period "." at the end of the domain. Example: test.com.
        • [your IP allocations] are the IP addresses of your own mail servers, in CIDR format. Example: 1.2.3.4/24


  • For example, if your domain is electric-automotive.com, add the following two TXT records:
electric-automotive.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf.electricautomotive.com -all"
spf.electric-automotive.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:69.90.54.0/28 ip4:[your IP allocations] ~all"
