PureMessage for SBS: Enabling SPF in PureMessage

Question

I'm looking for instructions on how to configure SPF in PureMessage 3.0.1.0 (part of Sophos Security Suite) running on Windows SBS2003. I've not been able to find any instructions on the Sophos site.

I've created a published SPF record for my domain by receive spam that has my email address as the sender - so I guess I need SPF activated to put a stop to this.

Hi ZestyLemon,

SPF is a feature of the mail server and not PureMessage for exchange, therefore you need to enable it in Exchange itself, please see the following for a reference of how to set this in Exchange 2003, if you are in any doubt, you should consult your exchange documentation, or Microsoft support for more information on configuring this feature:
