Hi all,

While searching for preventing "marked as spam" problem i've found that SPF records may help.
Right now our domains have spf records as text.
But it seems SPF type records can be added to harden the status of SPF.

Although there are several reports that TXT SPF is enough and SPF type deprecated, i want to be sure about the method which we should implement in the DNS side for our email accounts.

Right now, when i try to add SPF type record via DNS Manager i see the error message below;

unknown RR type 'SPF'
dns_master_load: ...........:38: syntax error
zone ........../IN: loading master file /var/named/...........db.temp: unknown class/type

Any idea or recommendadtion on this ?

Thanks

Hello,

SPF records exist by default. Why do you want to add them manually? Whatever reason you have, you might want to try DKIM: http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1189 As Google as it seems more likes DKIM.

I found that SPF type records while searching for fighting with "marked as spam problem".

Anyway some of the online spf test sites shows that i've correct SPF TXT record but my SPF Type records missing. That's why i asked this question.

Example test site: http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html

I will try DKIM also ...

Thanks.
 
Hmm, I've checked your domain and one of mine, I get the same results:

"SPF records should also be published in DNS as type SPF records."

That is rather wrong and can be ignored.
