Quick samples:
How It Works in 3 Simple Steps
01
Enter sending domain
Provide the domain hosting your SPF TXT record.
02
Parse SPF Mechanisms
Analyzes includes, ip4, ip6, and ~all / -all qualifiers.
03
Count Lookups
Calculates nested DNS lookups to verify you stay under RFC 7208 limits.
Pro Tips for Maximum Performance
- Never have more than one SPF TXT record on a single domain.
- Flatten SPF if your include count exceeds 8.
Frequently Asked Questions
RFC 7208 limits the number of DNS queries during SPF evaluation to 10. Exceeding this returns a PermError and fails SPF.
We recommend ~all during rollout and -all once all sending services and IP addresses are cataloged.
