SPF record?

[BJFreeman]

I am in the DNS section attempting to create an SPF record. I know the syntax and exactly what I need to enter. However, there are spaces in the TXT record, which the system is automatically taking out. When I try to query the spf record, it is returning something looking like v=spf1mxa:mail.domain.com~all (without spaces) instead of v=spf1 mx a:mail.domain.com ~all (with spaces). This is causing the SPF record to appear invalid to remote spam filters.

Any idea how to get it to register the TXT record WITH the spaces in it?

I am not sure if this will work, but try enclose the SPF record with " " - like this:

"v=spf1 mx a:mail.domain.com ~all"

See if that helps?

Yeah, I tried that already, but it didn't work.

Normally DA is creating SPF records automatically. Are the onse being made automatically displayed correctly?
Or are you not using Directadmin?

I just tried it on a few of our boxes, but I can't duplicate your problem.
What version of Directadmin are you using? Can you please update to the latest and check again?

Also, can you post some screenshots of your problem?

Yeah, I tried that already, but it didn't work.

Make sure, your Directadmin version is the latest.
Make sure, you've got no custom scripts in /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/ which would remove spaces.
