I'm kinda out of my element here so please forgive me. I have read and googled several spf post and troubleshooting tips but I can't quite figure out what I'm missing.

My test email is failing MailTester.com...well sorta. 6.5/10.

Googling why I am getting dinged -3 it appears my spf record needs to allow the domain emails are being sent from. (bombomb).

So I modified on bluehost my spf txt record adding bombbomb.

v=spf1 a mx include:websitewelcome.com include:bbemaildelivery.com ~all

But I must be doing something wrong as I still get

[SenderId] domain.com does not allow your server [IP Addy] to use john@domain.com --where john@domain.com is my actual email addy.

Edit.

Just read a post that said this error can happen if the spf has too many redirects but I'm not sure if that applies to my situation?

  • @MichaelHampton My apologies didn't realize they would be needed. The domain is zimmermanteamak.com and the IP is 209.51.162.180 – GPGVM Jun 29 '15 at 16:46

    Hmm. It looks like you're hitting the 10-lookup limit due to the poor design of websitewelcome.com's SPF records (not to mention the poor design of their mail systems). Are you sure you really need this? – Michael Hampton Jun 29 '15 at 16:54
  • No..that was pre-existing. I'll check into the need of it. For my education how did you do that...I mean how can I learn to self serv next time? – GPGVM Jun 29 '15 at 18:02
  • Why, I just looked up _their_ SPF records! – Michael Hampton Jun 29 '15 at 18:14
