FALKEN'S MAZE / CHECKS / SPF RECORD

SPF record

What Joshua checks

Checks that the domain publishes a valid SPF record.

Why it matters

Without SPF, anyone can send mail that claims to come from your domain.

How to fix it

Publish a TXT record such as "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all", listing every service that sends mail for you.
