TXT RR Format The standard TXT and SPF record format is defined as: name ttl class TXT text name ttl class SPF text The SPF RR is functionally identical to a TXT record with SPF data. BIND 9.4+ supports the SPF RR type, however previous versions, and most other DNS software (as of July 2007), do not yet support the SPF RR type. Thus, the RFC's recommendation is to always provide a TXT based SPF RR and, if your DNS software supports the SPF RR type, duplicate the information from the TXT version of the SPF RR in a native SPF RR. The reason for this procedure is simply because while the master/slave DNS may support the SPF RR, querying name servers - such as name servers used by receiving MTAs - may not. Some, but not all, of the examples below have been updated to reflect the use of both record types to illustrate usage. In all cases the TXT and SPF RRs are shown with a comment line between containing the word AND as a reminder of the current policy recommendation. It is safe to assume for the foreseeable future that only using a TXT version of the SPF will always work.
