Question Bulk Email and SPF

Hi Guys,

I have been asked to look into creating Monthly newsletters for people who have registered on the website hosting. As eUK (quite rightly) have a limit on email sending through their servers, I created a local application that downloaded the email addresses from the database on the website hosting, created the email and sent them off via a local SMTP server.

Out of the 400 currently registered users, 100 were bounced by ISPs such as AOL, BTInternet, Freeserve etc, as I assume they think its .

Now, will it be SPF to the rescue? From what I understand, when you enter the SPF record in to DNS, the recieving SMTP server will look at it to see if the host server was allowed to send the mail. If it was it allows it through.

So if I enter my external IP address into this record this should also work OK??

Does anyone know how successful this actually is as I obviously can't test this on my subscribers?

Thanks

Adam.
