SPF records
« 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.

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.
