 One of the features of Evergreen is the abililty to specify the sending address on outgoing email and SMS text messages so that individual libraries can receive any bounced messages and correct patron accounts accordingly (Admin -> Local Administration -> Library Settings Editor - the setting name is "Sending email address for patron notices").  The "sending address" feature means that messages sent from the PINES servers (gapines.org) appear to some of the receiving email providers to be "pretending" to be library (which is known as "spoofing"), which is resulting in either outright rejection (where the email provider's server will not accept the message) or silent acceptance and non-delivery to your patrons. One of the features of Evergreen is the abililty to specify the sending address on outgoing email and SMS text messages so that individual libraries can receive any bounced messages and correct patron accounts accordingly (Admin -> Local Administration -> Library Settings Editor - the setting name is "Sending email address for patron notices").  The "sending address" feature means that messages sent from the PINES servers (gapines.org) appear to some of the receiving email providers to be "pretending" to be library (which is known as "spoofing"), which is resulting in either outright rejection (where the email provider's server will not accept the message) or silent acceptance and non-delivery to your patrons.

 As of April 11, 2019, PINES' sending IP addresses are 168.25.131.21 (primary) and 168.25.131.22 (failover), so they will need to be added to the SPF record for georgialibraries.org sending addresses to be accepted.  Our edited SPF record would then look like this: As of April 11, 2019, PINES' sending IP addresses are 168.25.131.21 (primary) and 168.25.131.22 (failover), so they will need to be added to the SPF record for georgialibraries.org sending addresses to be accepted.  Our edited SPF record would then look like this:

 With that in place, messages should be accepted by email providers that consult the SPF record.  You would want to ask whoever manages your email to make that change.  NOTE:  GPLS-hosted email has already made this change, so no further action is required.  With that in place, messages should be accepted by email providers that consult the SPF record.  You would want to ask whoever manages your email to make that change.  NOTE:  GPLS-hosted email has already made this change, so no further action is required.
