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@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): http://www.zonedit.com/support.html  ------------------------ Keith Smith --  (503) 754-4452 Android (623) 239-3392 Skype (623) 688-3392 Google Voice ** it-clowns.com Chief Clown -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
