hi, i came to know that SPF record is required for sending mails to hotmail.com i've created the SPF record. i've created A record, CNAMES, MX records in my domain registrar's cpanel pointing the domain to my static ip. i use my ISP DNS servers. openspf.org says if you run bind paste it in your zone file mydomain.com IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ~all" where do i put this info?
You can define a SPF-record within the DNS-Manager in ISPConfig. The result will be stored within files within the directory /etc/bind/
thanks mate does it take time for the changes to take effect. yesterday i was able to send emails to a site .But today after deleting the DNS record in DNS manager in the morning my mails didn't show up in that site but does in yahoo.com regards kreya
After creating the SPF record, do you need to restart BIND? I set them up for existing sites and after 24hrs they still aren't recognized.
That depends on the nameservers, it may take up to 72 hours. But its easier if you just check the config files of your local bind server, if the spf record has been added and if you are not sure, restart bind.
This is the PSF record that I found: mydomain.dom. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all" I have restarted bind and will wait for 72hrs to see if it's showing up.
I just checked using dnsreport.com and the SPF record is still not showing up, even though it's well over 72 hrs. Any suggestions?
