SPF records.....

They can be listed as TXT records or SPF records.... An example with BIND

TXT     "v=spf1 mx ip4:6.7.8.0/24 mx:mailsvr.abc.com ip4:3.4.5.0/24 ~all"
SPF     "v=spf1 mx ip4:6.7.8.0/24 mx:mailsvr.abc.com ip4:3.4.5.0/24 ~all"

Some servers request a txt record, other a spf record. The above record says the mail server mailsvr.abc.com and all ips in the blocks 6.7.8.0/24 and 3.4.5.0/24 are permitted senders. The ~all allows for a soft fail.

What do you need the SPF record to say?

Hi, I need to find a DNS and SPF expert to help work through an SPF
issue.  The data center owner says one thing and the newsletter
management company says another.  We need to resolve this issue
once and for all.

If this is you or if you can recommend someone that would be
great!!

Thanks!

Keith
