I administer DNS for Bard College and do not chose to implement SPF in
its zone files.
However, we have a request from one of our subsidiary program-campuses,
a High School - Early College program, which currently gets currently
gets its mail through the address like hsec.bard.edu. This is not
really a subdomain, rather just the mail host; there is no
www.hsec.bard.edu, etc.
The HSEC administration likes having an edu and bard.edu address but
wants to go to GMail. The lovely folks at Google say that the MX record
for GMail should have an associated SPF record.
The Question: can I do an SPF record *just* for that mail service record?
Would the hsec.bard.edu stanza look something like this?
hsec.bard.edu IN A <some address>
MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
hsec.bard.edu. TXT "v=spf1 *include:_spf.google.com ~all*"
The SPF record is cribbed from this Google GMail URL:
