outbound website emails

out of interest, how is everyone handling outbound emails from wordpress websites and getting them past dkim / spf checks?

just wondering if i'm using the best method.. obviously using a plugin with smtp configured is the preferred choice, but a lot of clients just won't do that, so leave wordpress to submit mail to the phpmailer..

specific scenario:
multiple enhance webservers, none with the email role applied to them. dedicated server with the email role.

do you enable server hostname? just configure the helo name? let them send out directly? configure them to relay through the dedicated email server?

I first used spamexperts as a smarthost per domain and manually editing the files.

But most likely switching to Jetemail soon due server wide smarthost and automation using the enhance smarthost config and only spf change needed per domain you can put into the template you use the enhance dkim with a domain.

You can configure a smarthost per server if you want.

Server hostname you always configure.

I do use a smtp user on wordpress almost always but Jetemail also has a wordpress plugin.

If the php e-mail goes directly over the smarthost not tested yet.

There are more smarthosts like mail baby and mailchannels.

I am just telling what I am doing in my situation 😉

We push all outbound email through mail baby.
