Your SPF records are way too big

It is my understanding that we have to add "include:zohocrm.com include:zcsend.net" to our domain's SPF record in order for all Zoho services to work. Is this correct?

SPF records have a hard limit of 10 DNS lookups. When we add zohocrm.com to our domain's SPF record, that causes 9 DNS queries alone! For proof, look at this SPF tester site (it shows 8 lookups, which doesn't include the first one): https://dmarcian.com/spf-survey/zohocrm.com

I strongly request that you reduce your SPF record down to only 1 query. Your current one has several sub-queries because you are including **54** different IP addresses. Do you REALLY expect to send email from 54 different IPs? I would guess that you actually only need 1 or 2 IP blocks. If you could reduce your SPF record down to only a few IP blocks, it would all fit in one record with no extra sub-queries.

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if you'll fix this on your end. We definitely need it to be fixed asap.

How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?
A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk) In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only. The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
