SPF Record to Prevent Spoofing & Improve E-mail Reliability

Posted on June 16, 2016

I have a SPF record and someone is spoofing it and the my email go to spam. I have a newsletter that I need to get out and I am having problems. Here is the current SPF file and it is not working like it should. I am in the US and someone is spoofing my email address from South America.

Here is my SPF record.

v=spf1 a mx ptr include:fastdomain.com ?all TTL 14400

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
