The server will be relocated to a place somewhat nearer to me. As it is now, the server is about a 1.5 hour drive away from me (and with a non-driving Fiero, it might as well be on Mars). The new location is only about 20 minutes away and can even be reached easily with public transportation.
For the relocation, the server will be down on April 13th from around 11am - 3pm EST. A few days after that, I will be upgrading the server meaning another downtime of about 30 minutes or so. Not sure what date yet, but will let you know as soon as I do.

Time has changed to Friday April 12th. Time not yet known. You'll notice when the forum is unreachable. 😉

Thanks for the heads-up. And thanks for all you do.

I did some poking and I'm confused...are you running this on a physical server? Your IP belongs to the ASN for WeDare B.V., which shares an address with (and appears to be) a colo in the Netherlands. I'm not finding any hosting services from them, but I'm relying on Google translate. I'm having a hard time finding anything server-wise beyond the apache web server running the site, but that could be running on a VPS of any sort.
Your MX is all pointing to the same address as your web server. Either there's some hosting I'm missing or you are running your email server too. Your SPF is set to that the immediate previous IPv4 address, which means you probably aren't using the fiero.nl domain to send email, or else you're getting a lot of delivery errors. If you aren't using it have you considered just putting in a null SPF? Similar point for fieroforum.com; are you sending email for that via the same server as fiero.nl? If not you might want to null SPF that as well to prevent abuse.[This message has been edited by NewDustin (edited 04-12-2024).]

PFF runs on its own physical server. WeDare is a colo but uses different names (depending on how old a client of theirs you are). They do not do hosting. I rent rack space and buy bandwidth from them. Yes, I run my own mailservers (plural). Fiero.nl's SPF is working just fine and I get no errors whatsoever. Why would it? That IP address is the one sending out the emails.

That's so cool! I'm sure it can be a pain dealing with the physical server, but I love that's how you're hosting this.
The MX for fiero.nl is set to to the IP ending in .147 but the SPF is allowing .146; that's what made me wonder about delivery because that shouldn't work without issues. I just grabbed headers from one of emails I got from setting up my account (it had a fiero.nl 'from' address). It looks like those emails are being processed through the pennock.nl email server and just having the fiero.nl 'from' address added to the headers. The SPF for pennock.nl is missing the '-all/~all' at the end, which effectively tells email recipients to ignore SPF, and is probably why the fiero.nl emails aren't being marked as spam.
Thanks for putting up with my questions! I have a Dell T420 in my closet I use for my lab and a few services I share publicly, but I'm not doing anything that cool on my own hardware.

That's correct. The MX is used for incoming email. .147 is not sending email, that's handled by .146. Which is why it works.

Not sure why, but the server was not relocated yesterday. So my guess is they are sticking with the original plan and move the servers today.
