Re:Domain owners: Set up SPF NOW!!! (Score 1)

Well. I used to be a 1&1 customer too.
I left them because of this and other inflexibilities.

• Can't add custom DNS records
• Can't have a simple user name (I hated their cryptic and long home-dir scheme)
• Most importantly: can't run filters on the incoming mail servers

I switched to dreamhost who for the same <$10/month price also doubled my storage to 4GB (and rising each month) and seem to be so much more friendly and flexible to reasonable requests.
