Question SPF Recrods set with the DNS Plugin for Plesk not accepted

[FelixHohl]

Hi all,

I've installed the DNS plugin for plesk 17.5.4 ... and set up a DNS Setting for SPF

it looks like this:

domain.de
Type: TXT
Value: v=spf1 +a +mx -all +a:domain.de

When I check If the rule is set with this tool for example: SPF Query Tool

Return value is: No valid SPF record found of either type TXT or type SPF.

Any Ideas?

Hi FelixHohl,

first of all, pls. notice, that your TXT - entry is partly incorrect:

Value: v=spf1 +a +mx -all +a:domain.de

Should be:

Value: v=spf1 +a +mx +a:domain.de -all

... the "all" - definition is always the END, according to => RFC 7208 - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in Email, Version 1

Next, you would like to get help with your settings, without providing the informations about the name of the FQDN. This will lead to guessings and suggestions which might not at all suit your needs and desire.

If you get the answer

Return value is: No valid SPF record found of either type TXT or type SPF.

... it is mostly like the case, that your domain still uses the nameservers from your domain provider ( who has it's very own control panel ), instead of the ones from your server.
