@MisterW 

Success:

For the record there appears to be a couple of spaces in your version that needed removing. The changes were instantaneous.

Thanks again.

Re: Static IP SPF fail

Thanks to everyone who helped (especially MisterW)

The problem of email ending up in spam is fixed.

Funny enough my domain name was also with Namesco (Names) as someone previously mentioned.

 

So I used:

v=spf1 include:_spf-internal.plus.net include:_spf-internal2.plus.net include:spf.hosts.co.uk ~all

 

Until next time...

Re: Static IP SPF fail

I just got a "failure" from google:

 

spf=neutral (google.com: 212.159.14.17 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of graeme@vetterlein.com) smtp.mailfrom=graeme@vetterlein.com

It looks like the two records on plusnet differ  :

> _spf-internal.plus.net
Server:		10.117.0.152
Address:	10.117.0.152#53

Non-authoritative answer:
_spf-internal.plus.net	text = "v=spf1 ip4:84.93.230.227 ip4:84.93.230.235 ip4:84.93.230.244 ip4:84.93.230.250 ip4:212.159.14.17 ip4:212.159.14.18 ip4:212.159.14.19 ip4:212.159.14.20 ~all"

212.159.14.17 is only on the 1st one.

it looks like the two records on plusnet differ  :

They are different , that's why you need to include both.

Re: Static IP SPF fail

Looks like they are both included, so to me this looks like a transient error - if you plug the domain and the IP address Google is complaining about into MXToolbox, it passes:

https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=spf%3abragbrook.com%3a212.159.14.17&run=toolpage

v=spf1 a mx include:_spf-internal.plus.net include:_spf-internal2.plus.net ~all
Prefix Type Value PrefixDesc Description
  v spf1   The SPF record version
+ a   Pass Match if IP has a DNS 'A' record in given domain.
+ mx   Pass Match if IP is one of the MX hosts for given domain name.
+ include _spf-internal.plus.net Pass The specified domain is searched for an 'allow'.
+ include _spf-internal2.plus.net Pass The specified domain is searched for an 'allow'.
~ all   SoftFail Always matches. It goes at the end of your record.
  Test Result
Status Ok SPF Record Published SPF Record found

Re: Static IP SPF fail

Thanks, I'd assumed you had 2 to act as a backup for any outages.

 

Looks like my issue was propagation delays . I got the warning, another recipient (both on gmail) did not.

Tried again, now I no longer get a problem. So all's right in the world, thanks for a quick response.
