Syntax looks correct. Fail looks at the SPF record for the domain being checked and if it says mail should not be sent from that domains from the mail server in question, then the test will fail. For the case where the domain does not have an SPF record, the test would return Unknown. If you want to show that result you can add
SPFUNKNOWN spf unknown x 0 0 SPFUNKNOWN WARN Also note that giving much, or perhaps any, weight to SPF PASS may not be a good idea as some spammers have added SPF records.

How exactly is this test carried out? Is it checking for the validity of the SPF record, and if one does not exist, the test is skipped? Or should a mail fail if either the record is inaccurate OR if the record does not exist? Or do I have something configured wrong? From scanning the archives I believe that I do have the tests configured properly. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
