I currently have an SPF record with a hostname of @ that is:

v=spf1 mx ip4:x.x.x.243/32 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com ~all

I also have another record of"

spf2.0/pra mx ip4:x.x.x.243/32 include:_spf.google.com include:amazonses.com ~all

We have had a lot of email being bounced back because of spam and now when I go to http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html? and check the "Does my domain already have an SPF record? What is it? Is it valid?" it says no spf record exists.

However, when I send an email using our Amazon SES script and check the headers it says it passes the SPF test.

Is there something I am missing? Do I need to place that text in quotes ""? Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Office365 SPF record has too many lookups

For some utterly ridiculous administrative reasons we've got a split domain with one mailbox on Office365 which requires us to add include:outlook.com to our SPF record. The problem with this is that that rule alone requires nine DNS lookups of the maximum of 10. Seriously, it's horrible. Just look… >>> More
