spf record for sites

My domain is swacfans.com

Check out: http://dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=swacfans.com

Look at the last box in the “Mail” section. it says:

You have an SPF record. This is very good, as it will help prevent spammers from abusing your domain. Your SPF record (I don’t check to see if it is well designed!) is:
“v=spf1 a mx ~all” [TTL=43200]

I wonder if something is wrong with the site I was on yesterday


Well now even that one seems to be working
http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html[URL=“http://www.kitterman.com/getspf.py”]

Shouldn’t I be able to setup one for 79.208-100-63.steadfast.net also?

80.208-100-63.steadfast.net. TXT “v=spf1 a -all”

How do I add this record? Do I have to setup another zone?

If you use the same domain to send/receive email, you should not have to do the above.

I pretty much got everything working now, but how do I get rid of those warnings?

What warnings would those be? You mean this from dnsstuff:

Mail server host name in greeting:

mail.swacfans.com claims to be non-existent host 80.208-100-63.steadfast.net:
220 80.208-100-63.steadfast.net ESMTP

Yes that and the other 3 warnings, but to be honest I’m just happy the mail is finally working right on the server

The other 3 warnings are nothing to worry about. Indeed it is preferred to have your nameservers on different C-class networks, but unless you’re running fort knox it’s not really necessary :wink:
