Help publishing SPF records
Hey guys, just trying to get my SPF records sorted on GoDaddy.. anyways, when I run a test from http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html I get this message:
Does anyone know why this is? Do I have a bad txt record? Also does this also act as what they call "Reverse DNS"??
SPF records are primarily published in DNS as TXT records.
The TXT records found for your domain are:
v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:XX.XX.XX.XX ptr:XX.XX.XX.XX ~all
SPF records should also be published in DNS as type SPF records.
No type SPF records found.
Checking to see if there is a valid SPF record.
Found v=spf1 record for domain.ca:
v=spf1 a mx ptr ip4:XX.XX.XX.XX ptr:XX.XX.XX.XX ~all
evaluating...
Results - PermError SPF Permanent Error: Invalid domain found (use FQDN): XX.XX.XX.XX
Does anyone know why this is? Do I have a bad txt record? Also does this also act as what they call "Reverse DNS"??
I beleive the error is because the "ptr" option should either be specified as "ptr" alone or "ptr:<domain>".... you seem to have it specified as "ptr:<IP address>".... check this site as well, as it has great info on SPF and well as a setup wizard to help configure the record correctly: http://www.openspf.org/

Does anyone know how to setup a Reverse DNS so I can avoid these errors:
smtp1.telebecinternet.com gave this error:
No reverse DNS found
Your message wasn't delivered due to a permission or security issue. It may have been rejected by a moderator, the address may only accept e-mail from certain senders, or another restriction may be preventing delivery.
Typically you need to give your ISP that is providing you with your static public IP address(es) the hostname you want to associate with the IP address(es) and they set it up for you.... for example, you would tell them to set up IP 1.2.3.4 to point to host smtp1.telebecinternet.com. ..

My ISP is saying this isn't possible.. are there any other solutions??
