Mailing List Archive: Newbie Questions

Hello,

May sound like silly questions, but I have a couple.

1. I used the "wizard" to create the SPF Record. The instructions said
to add the txt file to the dns, which I did. My question is whether or
not I am supposed to include the quotation marks "v=spf1
ip4:74.202.227.32/27 ip4:216.27.84.64/27 ip4:66.192.165.130/27
ip4:216.27.93.0/25 ip4:72.44.83.51 a mx mx:outboundsmtp.listingware.com
include:icpbounce.com include:listingware.com ~all"

2. When an outgoing mail server can be one of many, is there a wild card
that I can use for the A name of the mail server? Such as
"*.listingware.com" or would simply listing "listingware.com" include
all outgoing servers from that domain?

Thanks

Did you mean the MX of outboundsmtp.listingware.com, or did you mean the host?

Either way, no quotes?

You could use ptr, but for good reasons that's recommended against.
You would be far better to list by IP.
