I am trying to help a client of my set up an SPF record for his domain. He has the need to authenticate mail from three locations
1. his domain whistlerreservations.com which is set up with google apps mail
2. Via a third party booking engine that sends mail from the domain rezserve.com
3. Via campaign monitor (cmail1.com) which is an email distribution system.
This is the following SPF that I created
v=spf1 a mx include:rezserve.com include:cmail1.com include:_spf.google.com ~all
I set this up but when I try and verify with http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html i get the following
Results - PermError SPF Permanent Error: No valid SPF record for included domain: rezserve.com: include:rezserve.com
and any messages sent from rezserve.com on whistlerreservations.com behalf end up in my gmail spam folder
Can somebody please verify this is correct?
Does rezserve.com also have to publish an spf record? and if show what is it that they need to set?
I hacked this together from various sources
1) google apps help - google.com/support/a/bin/a
which says to set the following v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
2) Campaingmonitor help -help.campaignmonitor.com/
Which says to set - v=spf1 mx include:cmail1.com ~all
