How and where can I check for syntax errors in my new SPF record before publishing it?
You can use EasyDMARC’s SPF Raw Checker to validate your record in real-time. This tool ensures your syntax is perfect and that you aren't exceeding the SPF's 10 DNS lookup limit that could impact email delivery.
How to validate your record:
1. Enter your Domain: In the first field, enter the domain you are creating the record for.
2. Paste your SPF Record: In the second field, paste the raw SPF string you intend to publish (e.g., v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all).
3. Validate: Click the "Validate SPF Record" button.
What the system checks for:
1. Syntax Errors: It identifies typos, extra spaces, or unsupported mechanisms.
2. DNS Lookup Counts: It automatically calculates the number of DNS lookups your record triggers (keeping you under the industry limit of 10).
3. Validity Status: You will receive a clear confirmation if the record is valid and safe to be published in your DNS settings.
