It is probably an SPF record. http://spf.pobox.com/.
It dictates from which IP a message for a specific domain is supposed to
come from.
hmmmm. Is this widely used? I have never heard of it
before. It is going to be a headache to implement for an
administrator that uses a control panel for his clients on his
server. Ensim is widely used and it doesn't do it for you. Kind of
takes away the reason to have a control panel if only a tech can
setup a site. 2 reasons we got the control panel for the server was:
1. So that even my non techy boss could setup a site.
2. So that the client could have a control panel where he can do
some of his/her own administration. Like setting up his own email accounts.
It really isn't feasible to implement this on these types of
servers. We might as well close down shop since our customers want
control panels. Or wait for Ensim to implement it. I don't know if
the other control panels out there use it, like CPanel. But if they
don't then it isn't something that a lot of hosting companies are going to do.
From what I read, it also requires the DNS server to be
separate. Ensim doesn't have that built in and doesn't support it
either. In our case, I have written some scripts that automatically
moves all of the DNS records to a separate server a couple of times a
day and it works just fine this way. But for a lot of providers who
can't write a script, this won't be feasible for them either. I have
offered my script for doing it at no charge, but nobody administering
Ensim seems to want to do it. They seem happy to just have the
default DNS servers on the same system as their Control Panel.
