Hi,

Sorry to bother everyone on Thanksgiving eve!  BTW Happy Thanksgiving!!

I need to configure an SPF record on ZoneEdit and I cannot find enough information to configure it.


I assume the record type is TXT.  And I know what the TTL is.  Not sure what to put in the Sub-Domain field and the Text field.

Subdomain would be "@" or all.  You are entering this TXT record at the domain level (just like you do for your MX records); however I am unsure of the syntax of that portal - such questions might be best addressed to support at zonedit.com?

Yes, the record type is TXT, 3600 is acceptable for a TTL (or set as default of other records).
If you are entering a SPF (sender policy framework) record to make your mail more deliverable, it would be entered into the Text Field:

"v=spf1 ptr:gmail.com -all"
Any server whose hostname ends in gmail.com is designated.

For a full list of all allowable characters:  http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax
Note, I believe the "-all" is deprecated in favor of ~all, but most DNS allow either.

Here's the test tools for SPF:  http://www.openspf.org/Tools

Also I have multiple sub-domains that point to the same email server, such as SMTP, MAIL, etc.  

I have two mx records.


That is not going to matter here, I don't think; provided you actually are entering a SPF entry, which will work for your entire domain on any mail message. 

Any help is much appreciated.


If this is not successful, I would suggest you ask here (although they are not going to be as qualified as we are):
