GoDaddy doesn't like my SPF record
I had a customer report that they were unable to send emails to someone that they normally can send to. The recipient's mail server is hosted by GoDaddy.
The bounce message from GoDaddy indicates that the sender's SPF record has a problem.
The sender's currrent SPF record is below:
v=spf1 include:spf.us.example.io -all
Nowhere in this SPF record is the customer's domain name, which I think is the reason GoDaddy doesn't like it.
Honestly I don't ever recall seeing that specific SPF record before, but now all of my virtual domains have this same SPF record.
Is this a recent change in how cPanel creates default SPF records?
What should I modify the customer's SPF record to, to make GoDaddy happy?
Thank you,
Tim Mallardi

@tmallardi, You could amend the SPF record for the domain to include your IP as per the following and see if that fixes it up. v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:your_server_ip_here -all Whilst this might not agree with what others have in their records it certainly works for us. You can also use an online service to check the validity of your SPF record after you've updated it, such as that available via the Port25 website here - EMAIL VERIFICATION 0 -

That appears to have worked. Thank you!0 -
Hello, Note the default SPF record, as generated on a test server, is: v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:IPHERE ~all
Thank you.0
