See here: http://old.openspf.org/mechanisms.html and here: http://www.spamresource.com/2006/09/sender-policy-framework-spf-trick-of.html and here: http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html Um, I think Henning’s record should look like this:

v=spf1 include:72smtp.whatever.com include:_spf.freshbooks.com ~all

The ~all should go at the end of the record and multiple include: statements are valid.

So, if your current record said: <code>v=spf1 include72smtp.whatever.com ~all</code> You should update it to say: <code>v=spf1 include72smtp.whatever.com ~all include:_spf.freshbooks.com</code> Below is a link to the documentation from the SPF project, which explains what each of these directives means. http://www.openspf.org/SPF_Record_Syntax Hi Henning,

You can add the snippet Rich provided to the end of your existing txt record. So, if your current record said:

v=spf1 include72smtp.whatever.com ~all

You should update it to say:

v=spf1 include72smtp.whatever.com ~all include:_spf.freshbooks.com

Below is a link to the documentation from the SPF project, which explains what each of these directives means.

How is the DNS record supposed to look like. I have set up SPF records for two other external mail servers and in both instances I was instructed to create DNS record or the type TXT and then add the following line: v=spf1 include72smtp.whatever.com ~all. How does this go together with the snippet of code you posted in your blog? Would it be possible to create the TXT record and then add the following for freshbooks.com? v=spf1 include72spf.freshbooks.com ~all I don’t understand the working of this.
