Hi Eric,

Correct syntax should be.
domain.tld. 86400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:0.0.0.0/0
ip6:::/0 ?all"

At least thats what we use on our domains.

thanks

Thanks to all of the replies I received off-list (and on-list as well).
Turns out it's not as bad as you may think. Here's my spf record I've
created.

$ host -t txt nxio.us
nxio.us descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:207.227.243.192/28
ip6:[2001:4830:e5:6::2] ip6:[2001:468:1202:301:20a:5eff:fe21:2f6b]
ip6:[2001:4830:2280::]/48 ip6:[2001:4830:e5:8::2] ip6:[2001:4830:2281::]/48
mx -all"

Seems to be working, thus far. I could send mail to some spf-enabled hosts
that I couldn't send to before.

thanks.
