"Email forwarding not happening"

I've been using the email forwarding for a number of years now, for my domains hosted by freeola.

For the last 24 hours though, I have had no emails forwarded.

I've sent test ones through my domains, and also ones directly to my forwarded accounts, and all my domain ones have just vanished, somewhere inside Freeload I'm guessing as I've had no bounces.

Is there a problem with email forwarding at the moment?

No due date. It was kind of a passing comment.
We don't get a lot of reports of people having problems getting mail to it's destination and don't support the sending of bulk mail and as DKIM mainly benefits getting mail accepted by the likes of Hotmail and Yahoo! if sending a lot of mail, then it's not high on our priority list. DMARC kind of goes hand in hand with SPF and DKIM and we haven't implemented both.
Is it something you have a particular need of?

When is DKIM due? Due you have plans for DMARC?

Fair enough.

I've sent the dodgy email as an attachment in case there's anything that can be done.

EDIT:
I notice the copy that my Gmail account picks up shows the dodgy address as:
"[email protected] via freeola.biz "

Why not? If I send an email which I have set to forward and also spoof the envelope-to part then all the MTA will do is use that, it doesn't know it's spoofed.

If you could send a copy with header intact to the abuse@ address I can get someone to double check this.

Sorry to drag this out...

I've had a spam email this morning where someone has spoofed a made up account from one of my Freeola domains.

Subject: They have been taking advantage of you for too long

The email shows as [email protected]

Looking at the headers I was surprised to see the new SRS references to freeola.biz


i.e.
X-SRS: Sender address rewritten from to by freeola.biz.
X-SRS: Sender address rewritten from to by freeola.biz.


Is this expected. I wouldn't have thought this information would show in a spoofed email?

Thanks.

Guess you've already done this Hmmm ;¬)

SPF exists on my domain hosted by Freeola but DKIM ... I don't know as of yet ... try yours here :¬)

:) DKIM next. Enjoy reading up on that!

All too much for me...
As long as it works and it doesn't cause a problem with all customers using a biz reference, I'm happy!

Ah that's for the forwarding MTA to use so it can have it's own SPF and to keep it separate from the senders domain, so it's the domain parts of the address that the receiving MTA bounces back to.

Thanks Eccles.
I had looked at the OpenSPF examples earlier. How does the third-part biz address fit in?
