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"??
