Hello everybody!
I imagine this has been asked several times, When you sign in as a user t the BBS you get the option to add an email, I added my @gmail.com but as may all know GMail is picky when it comes to *dynamic* IPs tunning mail servers.
Can I avoid that addig appropriate records to my DNS such as SPF, DKIM, a so on, or should I just opt to not use gmail?. I opted for just skipping email forwarding.
An SPF is likely all you need and as long as your system that receives mail your domain (your "mail exchange" or MX) is also the host that *sends* mail, then it's a simple SPF record:
$ host -t txt synchro.net
synchro.net descriptive text "v=spf1 mx a -all"
Or you could just relay your outbound mail through Vertrauen: https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:relay_smtp
I was reading some old messages and come across this one. Where do you add the descriptive text "v=spf1 mx a -all" and do you include the quotes? I am not having any mail problems, I was just curious. Have a great day Digital Man! Rixter
It's described in detail here:

No, the quotes are not included.
