Gmail doesn't consider valid SPF

According to SPF validation tool available on http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html my domain has correctly configured SPF record: v=spf1 ip4:111.222.333.444 include:zoho.com ~all

I'm sending emails from:


    Delivered-To: [email protected]
    Received: by 10.107.31.138 with SMTP id 123xxx123xxx123;

    hello

How can I fix this?

The message is Gmail couldn't verify that my-domain.com actually sent this messages (and not a spammer). and it links to https://support.google.com/mail/answer/180707

(I should point out that I made the SPF record correct many days ago and all DNS servers have surely been updated by now. It currently has TTL set to 30 seconds anyway for several weeks.)

UPDATE: I just noticed that GMail is seeing that the email is sent from sd-11111.dedibox.fr and not from 111.222.333.444 but doing ping sd-11111.dedibox.fr returns this exact ip: Reply from 111.222.333.444: bytes=32 time=38ms TTL=52 so I'm still clueless why it doesn't consider the IP?

Without real IP's or domain names, it's going to be hard to help you troubleshoot. Based on the Make Believe example everything is fine.

If that's the case, it's usually because you might have a hidden control character or something in your SPF record causing the issue. My suggestion will be to delete your old SPF record and add a new one retyping it.

You can send emails to reflectors such as

  [email protected]

Or other tools that don't reflect and show the results online like Mail Tester.

To verify if other mail servers also flag your SPF with an error.
