Why your SPF record has to be exactly right
SPF is the DNS record that authorizes which servers may send email for your domain. Get it slightly wrong — a typo, a missing provider, the wrong ending mechanism — and receivers treat your legitimate mail as suspicious and route it to spam.
Because nothing visibly errors when SPF is misconfigured, a bad record can sit there for months while your deliverability slowly erodes. Generating it correctly from the start removes the single most common cause of “why is my email going to spam.”
The mistakes a generator prevents
Two rules people break constantly: a domain may have only one SPF record (two is invalid and disables SPF entirely), and the record may use at most 10 DNS lookups. Every include: you add counts toward that limit.
This generator enforces both — it produces a single combined record and counts your lookups as you go, so you don’t quietly cross the limit and trigger a PermError that fails SPF for all your mail.
One SPF record per domain, and never more than 10 lookups — break either rule and SPF fails for ALL your mail.
How Zeqo keeps your SPF healthy
Publishing the record is step one; keeping it valid is the ongoing job. Providers change their sending IPs, teammates add new tools, and your lookup count creeps upward over time.
Zeqo Mail monitors your live SPF record every day, tracks your lookup count, and alerts you before you cross the limit or someone breaks the record — with the exact fix, not just a warning.
