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?
