SPF record 2022 update please

similar to this older thread....

https://community.plus.net/t5/Email/SPF-record/m-p/1741925

 

1: I own a domain

2: I would like to be able to send mail using the plusnet mail server (as a backup to the real domain host which is UK2)

3: Various receivers mark this as spam, because the SPF does not match the mail relays used by Plusnet (fair enough)

4: So I need to create an extra SPF record for my domain

 

What is the latest record, and how do I add it ?

 

Currently I have in the DNS text records for mydomain.co.uk this :

v=spf1 include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~all

 

Looking at a spam tagged email via plusnet SMTP it has:

 

ARC-Authentication-Results: i=1;
	imf22.hostedemail.com;
	dkim=none;
	dmarc=fail reason="No valid SPF, No valid DKIM" header.from=mydomain.co.uk (policy=none);
	spf=softfail (imf22.hostedemail.com: 84.93.230.227 is neither permitted nor denied by domain of mailbox@mydomain.co.uk)

Now I could delete the v=spf text on the DNS (unwise ?) or what would I add to make sure any of the servers plusnet might have are deemed OK (I assume that is where imf22.hostedemail.com comes in ?)

 

thanks for thoughts

Bill

You need to add 

include:_spf-internal.plus.net include:_spf-internal2.plus.net

to your existing spf record  ( you can only have one )
