In which DNS zone files i have to put spf record entry to get "spf=pass"?

Question

"Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=neutral (google.com: 46.23.76.174 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of vns6.wtech.in) smtp.mail=a@vns6.wtech.in".

This is the result when I get after seeing the mail sent from my mail server to gmail so I want to turn spf=neutral to spf=pass

Can anybody tell me how to do this?

Also I want to know in which zone file of dns I have to put my spf record entry?

In the DNS server which is primarily authoritative for wtech.in, which seems to be either ENOW.MERCURY.ORDERBOX-DNS.COM, ENOW.VENUS.ORDERBOX-DNS.COM, ENOW.EARTH.ORDERBOX-DNS.COM, or ENOW.MARS.ORDERBOX-DNS.COM, you need to put a TXT record that looks something like this:

vns6  IN    TXT "v=spf1 ip4:46.23.76.174 -all"

That will tell google (and everyone else) that the address 46.23.76.174 is explicitly permitted to send email from the domain vns6.wtech.in, and that noone else is. Be sure that's the result you want before you advertise such a record.

@AchalTomar, Seriously, I told you this already in your other question. I suspect your DNS is being hosted by your registrar. Go look in the web interface where you got your DNS. – Zoredache Feb 29 '12 at 09:41
@zoredache my dns is entirely in my control and the zone files can be accessed by me,that is why i am asking about their location in bind. – achal tomar Feb 29 '12 at 09:45
Well they would be in whatever zone file you put them in. Start by lookin in the named.conf, and any files included by the named conf on each of the 4 `ORDERBOX-DNS.COM` servers. You do run those as well right? – Zoredache Feb 29 '12 at 09:48
yes i do run those servers thanks for your help "Zoredache",i got answer to my question. – achal tomar Feb 29 '12 at 09:50
primarily authoritative is defined in SOA RR of domain: `[SOA] enow.mars.orderbox-dns.com.` – Lazy Badger Feb 29 '12 at 10:42
