I have saved my spf record such that it looks correct in the enom host record interface.

However, when I run a test on it - the published record does not display the include:spf.mailjet.com portion.

I cannot get mailjet to validate this for smtp sending.

The domain is mixteka.com

The record is setup as:

But if you use http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html to check the record - you can see it is different.

Any thoughts about how to fix this?

It appears that the record you have created exists at mixteka.com.mixteka.com.

mixteka.com.mixteka.com. 1800   IN      TXT     "v=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com SPF a ip4:69.64.144.0/20 ip4:98.124.192.0/18 ip4:216.163.188.60 ip4:216.163.176.40 ip4:38.113.116.216 ~all"

I suspected and checked for this based on the value in the Host Name field in the form in combination with there existing no TXT or SPF record at mixteka.com.

You may have to consult the documentation for the system you are using for how to create a record at the zone apex but some possibilities include:

  • Name with trailing dot (eg example.com.)
  • @ as name
  • Empty field

(The first two options are inspired by the standard master file format.)


As a separate note, SPF is, as far as I know, not a valid mechanism inside an SPF record.

Your record:

v=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com SPF a ip4:... ~all

should probably just read:

v=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com a ip4:... ~all
