Ok I've been going through various different sites, resources and topics here trying to figure out what is wrong with my SPF records but no matter what I do they don't seem to pass. Here's what I have
"v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:217.78.0.92 +ip4:217.78.0.95 -all"
I've tried multiple different tools to check my spf records, some give me a pass, some don't. But I can't send mail to certain google app accounts, they just bounce back all the time which is very annoying.
Anyone got any ideas?
I have noticed that the source IP address is not the IPV4 addresses I've defined, but Cpanel wouldn't let me add that address into it..
And here's the result of tests I'm getting back from port25.com. I'm running WHM by the way and have enabled spf and dkim.
