Hi,
think we need a bit more information here.
Can you give a simple point list of what you did please ?
Hello,
I am looking for some assistance setting up my SME 8 server for optimum spam filtering. Currently we get slammed with spam, so I attempted to make some changes which caused more issues than it was worth. I made the below changes and it caused me to get this message "Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient ***.com
The error that the other server returned was:
550 v=spf1 a -all"
Where were you sending to get the error 550 v=spf1 a -all ?? Out from SME or in from an outside address e.g. gmail ?
Do you use Google as your upstream smarthost for outgoing mail ? I saw this :
https://support.google.com/a/answer/178723?hl=enNote the following from that page :
"Publishing an SPF record that uses -all instead of ~all may result in delivery problems. See Google IP address ranges for details about the addresses for the Google Apps mail servers."
Your error shows '-all' ? Not sure if it is related at all.
I was able to remove my changes from the config and I have the emails flowing again. My question is what do you see wrong with the below settings?
Thank you

I think we need to figure out what is flowing in which direction first. The lists above are for blocking incoming mail.
Can you please post the output of
config show qpsmtpd
I believe you reset it as per your earlier thread but we should check, and we need to know what other changes you made.
