Error examples: double SPF, truncated TXT, quoting issues

Audit now

Double SPF

"v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com -all"
"v=spf1 ip4:203.0.113.0/24 -all"

Publish a single SPF record; merge mechanisms; keep lookups ≤10.

Truncated TXT / quoting

Split long TXT into ≤255‑char chunks surrounded by quotes; avoid trailing spaces and stray quotes. Confirm your DNS provider doesn’t auto‑wrap without quoting.

Copy/paste hazards

  • Smart quotes from word processors
  • Invisible whitespace (non‑breaking spaces)
  • DNS providers that auto‑wrap lines without quoting

Validation checks

  • No duplicate TXT with v=spf1
  • Total lookups ≤10; depth ≤3
  • DMARC/Alignment show expected pass with the visible From
