SPF with long string

Hello all,
i'm trying to implement SPF and my problem is that i have lot of ip addresses and i cannot enter them all on 1 line, i get an error message from my dns (using named on linux). my SPF entry looks like

afnet.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:172.16.2.0/24 ip4:192.168.0.0/22 mx ~all"

i used private IP for the example but i have lot more IP addresses

Apr 9 22:54:49 ns1 named[16179]: dns_rdata_fromtext: db.afnet:15: ran out of space
Apr 9 22:54:49 ns1 named[16179]: zone afnet.net/IN: loading master file db.afnet: ran out of space

can you help please ?

thanks

Bass

Yes why not? Your asking for help with a record your going to publish to
DNS where we can all look it up anyway, so when you need help let's start
with the real information so the people on here can help.

Re: SPF with long string [In reply to]

how many email servers do you actually have?
you only need the actual address used by your outbound smtp server.

Re: SPF with long string [In reply to]

Dear All,
Sorry, i was not trying to hide informations but it was very long string :)

Anyway, Rick is right, i wanted to add all my user ip addresses but i don't
need that, i just need my mail server (mmail.afnet.net).

So my SPF record in my DNS server (BIND) need 2 lines

afnet.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 mx ~all"
mmail.afnet.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
is that correct ?

thanks

You would only add <<mmail.afnet.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all">> if you
intended to use the form <<someone[at]mmail.afnet.net>> otherwise you can
protect mmail.afnet.net with:
mmail.afnet.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 -all"
meaning that no mail should originate from the domain mmail.afnet.net

Except when the mail server uses the HELO/EHLO string
"mmail.afnet.net", in which case the OPs SPF record was correct -
yours would result in mail being rejected:
