SPF dns record (new standard)

[chrisf]

Mustafa,

KloxoMR needs newer SPF record added.  The old SPF uses TXT in dns, however, new standard uses SPF DNS record - it has it's own record especially for SPF.

Is supported by bind.

We need both TXT and SPF dns records for SPF.  This is a must.  I have been arguing with aol and hotmail customer service.  They say we need both records.

Please advise.

Can you show 'SPF record' example instead using 'TXT record' for SPF?.

The above article explains in detail.  It is same as SPF TXT but it is duplicated into its own record.

It has been around for years, but a few major email distributors are now looking for SPF RR and not just SPF TXT.

I believe it should be easy to add? yes?
 
I do not know if djbdns supports, but bind since v 9. has.
