Window Live Mail – SPF FAIL

02. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: livemail · Tags: , , ,

Dear Administrator

My computer is Window 7 Professional (Chinese Traditional) and use Window Live Mail 2011 (版本 2011 (組建 15.4.3555.0308)
Copyright © 2010 Microsoft Corporation. 著作權所有，並保留一切權利。).

 

However, when I send the email from Hong Kong to USA friend, it rejected and returned the error code "SPF fail".

Pls advise the cause and how to solve it.

The error message is:

HELP! Receiving message as junk or abuse (spam)– FROM Microsoft?

Here's an email- as I received it:

  • RE: Comments please‏
Windows Live Hotmail (*** Email address is removed for privacy ***)

To: (my hotmail email address)

______________________________________________________________

I never wrote or sent an email about "comments". These have been coming to me for a couple of weeks
- basically any time I send a message from my own website email (which is set up to send a copy to
my hotmail address) to one person in particular (& her email is not hotmail either). 
This has been set up this way since last year. Again, I am experiencing this after sending an email 
from my private domain email to another private domain email. However, these spam emails, above, 
all get delivered to my hotmail address, directly?

At first I thought it was a glitch- until today when I received this email from the president of our local 
seniors computing club:

"The most irritating SCAM around at the moment causing mayhem is the Hot 
Mail One. Where people are thanked for reporting a scam from xxxx person 
then refusing to allow the onforward of a legitimate e-mail. Any clues?. 
People are getting mad about this one. One university has totally 
responded to this one and just junks anything that comes in (even though 
it is legitimate)."

Can someone look into this?  I'm already tired of it.  Is this some sort of spam/address mailer? 
I'm on Linux Mint- not Windows, which leads me to think it's my email account that is compromised...
