SPF record test i get this

SPF record lookup and validation for: akbari.nl
SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records.

The TXT records found for your domain are:
v=spf1 mx -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 akbari.nl:
v=spf1 mx -all

evaluating...
Results - record processed without error.

The result of the test (this should be the default result of your record) was, pass . The explanation returned was, sender SPF authorized

can anyone help me

Hi samir:
using http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html I can't see any spf record for your domain...


Make sure that the public dns server has this SPF (TXT) record

@jbahillo

Nice advice. However, I'd like to highlight that I just tried this tool against my own domain and got this answer:

Code: [Select]

SPF record lookup and validation for: mydomain.here
SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records.
The TXT records found for your domain are:

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.
No valid SPF record found of either type TXT or type SPF.
Use the back button on your browser to return to the SPF checking tool without clearing the form.
   I'm sure there is one.
Let's check again.

Indeed, second check as been able to find the TXT record (because obviously, I do have SPF set in my DNS zone  )

Hi christian:

quite strange, I have used this tool in severals ocasion without noticing that behaviour you have mentioned. Ie if I check my own domain, it sayd:

Code: [Select]

SPF record lookup and validation for: jbahillo.com
SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records.

The TXT records found for your domain are:
v=spf1 +a +mx -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 jbahillo.com:
v=spf1 +a +mx -all

and that's exactly what i get if i do a:

Code: [Select]

jbahillo@briga:~$ dig TXT jbahillo.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> TXT jbahillo.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37601
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 13, ADDITIONAL: 12

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;jbahillo.com. IN TXT

;; ANSWER SECTION:
jbahillo.com. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 +a +mx -all"

Actually before posting the previous comment, I had checked it with the dig TXT Akbari.nl with the same results.

That's what I'm finger pointing.

I do have TXT record for SPF.
First time I checked, it reported error as pasted above then second time it was OK. Strange isn't it ? 

[jbahillo]

Seems so...
