smtp relay and spam?

If you are using an external email server to relay your emails,
makesure to add spf record to your dns:

Example:
#Create a TXT record containing this text:
v=spf1 a:mail.yourdomain.com -all
#above meants only allow email to be sent directly from mail.yourdomain.com

if you want to use google:
v=spf1 include:aspmx.googlemail.com -all

for multiple mail server:
v=spf1 a:mail.yourdomain.com a:mail2.yourdomain.com -all

-all = exclude all others..
