| we recently discovered an spf error on some of our emails. we have spf records (txt file type)... but they are a little out of date. we used microsoft's website to generate new ones, but are they valid? (I made up the ip's and domain name)
Microsoft's reccomendation:
v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:207.250.223.50 mx:etp.cleanhound.com -all
ours:
v=spf1 mx ptr ip4:207.250.223.0/32 -all
notes: ours has .0/32 rather than the exact ip like .15 ... is a range (our version) needed for domains that have users from around the country... with external IPs?
ETP: is the name of our mail server... so all of our mail domains reference this server. |

| Always better to be most specific, but the first one says any A record is OK, which typiccly is either let me send from anything or poorly configured.
