hey everyone -

having an issue that is related to an exim router and spf checks. my server works closely with another domain and has a router in it to deliver mail for one domain (trmacs.com) directly to gmails servers - bypassing the spam filter etc. the weird thing is that when doing this gmail fails SPF verification as it thinks the mail is coming directly from the ip address the client is at instead of my server who is delivering the message and is listed in SPF. attached here are the sample headers of the failed SPF and the router config etc. what am i missing? if i deliver without the router it works perfectly.

Code:

Hello :)

Have you tested to determine if the same issue persists with other mail servers, or is it isolated to Google? Have you considered designating the client's IP address as a permitted sender in the SPF record?

Thank you.
