Is this setup correctly?

I currently have the doman name stevens-des.com. We only send email thru this domain. I used the wizard at http://old.openspf.org/wizard.html and set up my SPF file. This is what I have:

"v=spf1 a mx ~all"

Seems a little short. Do I need to incluse my IP address anywhere?

Any help is always appreciated.

Your email to the list was delivered to the list by: plus38.host4u.net (plus38.host4u.net
[69.94.56.43])

Now lets take a look at your spf record: v=spf1 a mx ~all

A for stevens-des.com resolves to 216.71.71.200 DOES NOT MATCH
MX for stevens-des.com resolves to 216.71.71.200 DOES NOT MATCH
~ ALL states that if no match accept with caution anyway. Results in a NEUTRAL

If plus38.host4u.net (plus38.host4u.net [69.94.56.43]) is the only server handling outgoing mail
for you then you could simply use: v=spf1 ip4:69.94.56.43 ~all After testing change the
~all to -all.

If Host4U uses more than one sending server then you will need to find out more info about these
servers and adjust your spf record accordingly.
