The impression I get is that some email recipient systems will see a hard fail as the sending system has more confidence in their security against spam and therefore they are more likely to accept. I've no idea if this is true or not but I decided to err on the side of being more strict with the hard fail and haven't had a problem. @Daggett – I've been using a hard fail without having any issues.

I just set this up for my domain on Dreamhost, which was pretty basic, but I was tripped up by being unsure what to indicate in the "sub-domain" field. It turns out you leave it blank - easy enough! Thanks for a most helpful post. After having used it awhile, can you confirm if whether a ~ (soft fail) or – (hard fail) works better?

It looks like they still require you to switch your domain to use their DNS servers. So any SPF record would have to be set up there. They only seem to provide an option to turn mail on or off. But I don't have a WordPress.com blog to check the actual setting on, just searched their help. @Nitin – II don't think it's possible.

I was wondering if there is a way to set spf for a blog hosted at wordpress.com. I have not been able to find information on this anyway. Any help, if possible, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
