SPF records for CellC smtp servers

[Wolvyreen]

Hello,

One of my clients prefer using their cell-c smtp servers. I need to add the cell-c smtp servers to their SPF record on their domain.

Where can I find out which IPs need to be added to the SPF record for CellC?

Thanks

Assuming this is the SMTP server, then this would be the IP:

ping mail.cmobile.co.za
PING mta0.cmobile.co.za (196.38.218.30)

You're not really providing much info though as to which server they're using etc.

well, thought that it was known to most that the smtp server for cellc is smtp.cellc.co.za. My apologies.

If mail.cmobile.co.za is the smtp server then how many does cellc have?

I don't think thats the correct server... No DNS record exists for it...

dig smtp.cellc.co.za

Afaik they switched from smtp.cellc.co.za to mail.cmobile.co.za a while back.

They do use multiple IPs for outgoing mail though. If all their IPs rDNS that are sending mail return anything from cmobile.co.za, you could simply add this: v=spf1 ptr:cmobile.co.za ~all

Sure

Just trying to point out that it's a bit daft to ask a question without the correct supporting information.

That server is open to all Cell C customers, including the ones that send spam. Do you really want to use a server that may also be a source of spam in your spf record? It will be safer to use your own smtp server.
