Creating a SPF record?

Hosting
1

Hi,

I am trying to add an SPF record to my DNS zone editor on bluehost.

I am being told to add this line " v=spf1 a ip4:199.204.23.90 include:_spf.google.com include:sm2.myactualdomain.com ~all "

However when I do I get the error message which reads: Invalid IPv4 address

Any ideas on how to fix this and add that line as an SPF record? I followed this guide http://www.mail-tester.com/spf/bluehost but still now working for me.

Thanks.

It looks like it may be choking on the google SPF domain.

Contact bluehost support about the issue.

Well can you try this

v=spf1 a ip4:199.204.23.90 mx include:_spf.google.com include:sm2.myactualdomain.com ~all

or this

v=spf1 a ip4:199.204.23.90 mx include:myactualdomain.com ~all
