Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but because of the propagation delay, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right.
In the TXT section of the Linode DNS Manager for my domain, I added an entry as follows:
Code:
Name: spf
Value: "v=spf1 a mx -all"
TTL: Default
Have I done it right?
When I ran DIG from the terminal, it gave the following output:
Code:
root@server:~# dig @ns1.linode.com TXT myDomain.com
; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu <<>> @ns1.linode.com TXT myDomain.com
; (2 servers found)
;; global options: +cmd

(I can also post, if its useful, the results I received from
auth-results@verifier.port25.com.)
Comparing my output to that displayed in
another thread here, I seem to be missing a few things and have other extra info:
1) My SPF record is not showing in the ANSWER Section
2) I don't have the Linode DNS servers mentioned in the AUTHORITY Section, though I have 5 entries (ns1 - ns5) in my DNS Manager page.
3) The DNS server record is not shown in the same way in the AUTHORITY Section
I would appreciate any additional advice on configuring the DNS to play nicely with the rest of the net.
Cheers,
