SPF Record not found?

1

Hi,

I’ve moved my domain over some while ago to deSEC.
I am very sure my SPF record is also in my smartict.nl domain and correctly formatted.
Nevertheless mxtoolbox and other sites tell me there is no SPF record at all.
What am I doing wrong here?

Best regards,
Sander.

Well, there is no TXT record for the domain smartict.nl:

$ dig +short smartict.nl txt
$

So from the outside there is no way of telling what you did wrong. Maybe post a screenshot of the web UI where the data you entered as a TXT record is shown?

Hello Fiwswe,

See the screenshot of the record as currently active.

Ah, so you have:

$ dig +short smartict.nl.smartict.nl txt
"v=spf1 mx a: ip4:62.45.207.226 ~all"
$

You need to leave the Subname field blank (or, if the UI allows, set it to smartict.nl. with a period at the end). You have created the subdomain smartict.nl for your domain smartict.nl and set the TXT record there.

Sorry, I just tried this and that does not not work in the deSEC web UI. Neither is @ a valid Subname. So ignore that part of my comment and just leave the Subname field empty.

Hello fiwswe,

That was the magic trick! Thank you for helping out here.
I’ve been staring at it blindly.

Rgds,
Sander.
