How? you have to retrieve the txt part of the dns register: $ dig hotmail.com txt ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> hotmail.com txt ... ;; ANSWER SECTION: hotmail.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:spf-a.hotmail.com include:spf-b.hotmail.com include:spf-c.hotmail.com include:spf-d.hotmail.com ~all" ... AIP.org doesn't have one: $ dig aip.org txt ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> aip.org txt ... ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 --------------------------------------^ So the question is, if there is no SPF why should SA score against it? It shouldn't, there must be something wrong with your setup. -- René Berber
