Multiple SPF records

[qositaon]

Hi All,

I'm currently setting up mandrill for our domain and i need to add an SPF record. the problem is that i already have a SPF record for Office 365.

If i create a combined SPF record in directadmin like:

v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all

I get an error from the DNS check in mandrill that the SPF records does not contain spaces. If i make a single SPF record like

v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all

Everything works fine.

Do i need extra characters to make sure that the spaces are seen by Mandrill

All,

For future reference for others who have the same issues.
I solved it with using quotes at the beginning and end of the string

"v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all"
