All my email are going straight to junk on hotmail and I think it is because of the SPF record.
The help file says to use this SPF record:
- v=spf1 include:zcsend.net ~all
Using this SPF record generates a "Soft fail". I looked into this and it is because the IP address is not specified. "~all" without an IP address is essentially saying all emails should soft fail.
I sent a test email to see the IP and got 74.201.84.163. Is it right to use a SPF record like:
- v=spf1 include:zcsend.net ip4:74.201.84.163 -all (I switched it to a hard fail)
Does zoho send from other IP addresses? Will this IP change?
EDIT:
I changed it to
| v=spf1 mx include:zoho.com ~all |
And now SPF passes but still all mail hits junk folder on any hotmail or outlook.com address.
Anything I can do?
