Title: SPF records
Post by: MultiformeIngegno on January 5th, 2012, 02:56 AM

Hi guys! :)
Is there a SPF records "expert"? :P

Is this entry correct: "v=spf1 all" ?
What's the differences between "v=spf1 all" and "v=spf1 ~all" and "v=spf1 +all"

If I use Google Apps on my domain, is a good thing to have (instead of the entries above) this one?
"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

Thanks in advance!! :cool:

Correct to do what? What are you hoping to achieve?

Refer to Google Apps' help on this.

"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

AIUI, it means to tag entries that fall foul of the policy defined in _spf.google.com but mark it as a failure (while allowing it through)

Then v=spf1 all won't help you, because it'll just pass everything through as accepted, as I understood the Wikipedia entry on SPF records.
