I am trying to help a client of my set up an SPF record for his domain. He has the need to authenticate mail from three locations
-
his domain whistlerreservations.com which is set up with google apps mail
-
Via a third party booking engine that sends mail from the domain rezserve.com
-
Via campaign monitor (cmail1.com) which is an email distribution system.
I am thinking this is the SFP record I need to implement
v=spf1 a mx include:rezserve.com include:cmail1.com include:_spf.google.com ~all
but am a bit concerned to do so as this is not exactly my area and don’t want to create more problems then I am trying to fix
Can somebody please verify this is correct?
I hacked this together from various sources
- google apps help - google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?answer=178723]SPF records - Google Apps Help
which says to set the following v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
- Campaingmonitor help -help.campaignmonitor.com/topic.aspx?t=88
Which says to set - v=spf1 mx include:cmail1.com ~all
Below is the mail header from one of the messages sent from resserve.com
