: Creating a custom DKIM (Domain Authentication) in DNS settings I'm trying to do the following as told by MailChimp: Set a TXT (SPF) record for lakesentrancesurflifesaving.org.au to: v=spf1

I'm trying to do the following as told by MailChimp:


Set a TXT (SPF) record for lakesentrancesurflifesaving.org.au to:



v=spf1 include:servers.mcsv.net ?all



Set the CNAME record for k1._domainkey.lakesentrancesurflifesaving.org.au to:



dkim.mcsv.net




What I have added to my DNS using DirectAdmin as seen below in the screen shot and text, some values I have hidden:


k1._domainkey.lakesentrancesurflifesaving.org.au CNAME dkim.mcsv.net
lakesentrancesurflifesaving.org.au. TXT v=spf1
include:servers.mcsv.net ?all




For some reason MailChimp says it does not detect the right values, I have waited 48 hours with no luck. After some research I know that a 'period' (.) can have a significant effect. So I would like to double check what I have against what i have been told to do by MailChimp.
Thanks!

You have 2 SPF records.

Multiple SPF records are not recommended and may cause delivery and spam classification issues. Combine the 2 records into one record.

Here is one of many tools you can use: www.spfwizard.net/

I think there should be double quotes around your TXT entry, just like for that other TXT entry you have shown.

As far as I can state, this double quotes normally happen automatically (my provider), but maybe check with your own provider.

See how nslookup resolves the two entries differently
