I am new to GCP. I have bought a domain from GoDaddy and hosted my website on GCP. My website is built on WordPress. I have contact forms on WordPress and when customer visit my website and leave a message and their emails beside right design I ado not get the emails on designated email address.

My understanding is this is due to SPF records, as my email provider (Zoho) also mentions that SPF records are not correct. Requirement from Zoho:

v=spf1 include:zoho.com.au ~all

Record in my GCP DNS Zone:

Mydomain(domainname)    TXT     600      "v=spf1" "include:zoho.com.au" "~all"

While contacting Zoho support, they mentioned this is strange I should contact DNS provider.

Can you suggest the solution?

Edit the DNS resource record and remove the extra quotes. – John Hanley Apr 13 '21 at 05:09

The issue is resolved by putting v=spf1\ include:zoho.com.au\ ~all – Ahmed Xuberi Apr 14 '21 at 01:04
When you enter a TXT record that has spaces, surround the entire string with quotes. You are trying to "escape" the spaces with `\ ` – John Hanley Apr 14 '21 at 01:54
