Have a new Exchange 2003 Server setup as part of a Small Business Server 2003
system. Do I need to have an MX and SPF record in DNS on this server? If
so, what is the best way to set one up, examples please. I am new to
Excange. Thanks.

When I run ordb.org against my domain everything passes except I do not have
an SPF record.

- Create an A record if you don't already have one. This maps a hostname
(mail.mydomain.com) to an IP address.
- Create an MX record that points to the A record you created above with
priority of 10.
- Test both using nslookup
nslookup -querytype=mx mydomain.com
- Can also test at DNSReport.com
- Sender ID: Microsoft has a wizard that will run you through creation of
SPF records
