I've inherited a TinyDNS configuration that have following entries for SPF:

@domain.com:x.x.x.3:a::86400
@domain.com:x.x.x.103:c:10:86400

=domain.com:x.x.x.3:86400
=mail.domain.com:x.x.x.3:86400
=mail.domain.com:x.x.x.103:86400

'domain.com:v=spf1 ip4\072x.x.x.3 ip4\07231.130.96.103 ptr\072mail.domain.com +mx a -all:3600
'mail.domain.com:v=spf1 ip4\072x.x.x.3 ip4\072x.x.x.103 ptr\072mail.domain.com +mx a -all:3600
'a.mx.domain.com:v=spf1 ip4\072x.x.x.3 ip4\072x.x.x.103 ptr\072mail.domain.com +mx a -all:3600

This is the result from http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html

SPF record lookup and validation for: domain.com

SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records.

The TXT records found for your domain are:
v=spf1 ip4:x.x.x.3 ip4:x.x.x.103 ptr:mail.domain.com +mx a -all 

SPF records should also be published in DNS as type SPF records.
No type SPF records found.

Checking to see if there is a valid SPF record. 

Found v=spf1 record for domain.com: 
v=spf1 ip4:x.x.x.3 ip4:x.x.x.103 ptr:mail.domain.com +mx a -all 

evaluating...
SPF record passed validation test with pySPF (Python SPF library)!

I'm struggling with this from yesterday and cant figure it why this validator returns No type SPF records found. I see in BIND we cand define SPF type record with example.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 a -all", but in TinyDNS we only have TXT records that we set for SPF, maybe this is a problem?

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
