Need help resolving the following error… 550 SPF check failed. 209.85.167.176 is not allowed to send mail from

  1. Can you share the actual domain name, mentioned after “from”?
    It can be shared surrounded with backticks, e.g. like this:
`example.com`

  1. Is the domain mentioned after the “from” one of your own domain name(s)?

  2. Are you only sending emails out through Google Workspace?

If you can confirm the latest two, the solution would likely be:

Add a TXT record, with this information:

Type: TXT
Name: @
Content: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all
TTL: Preferably set it to something like 12-24 hours, as mail related records likely do not change that often.

Hi and thanks for helping. avelineproperty dot com is my domain at the end of that error sequence.

I checked to see if the TXT record you suggested is in the records and it is.

I did correct another error with " around the content. Not sure if this will make any difference but I’ll test it tomorrow.

No, that’s not exactly what you have.

As I write this, the domain avelineproperty.com has this TXT/SPF record:

"v=spf1 include:44981364.spf04.hubspotemail.net -all"

… which only designates Hubspot to send emails on behalf of your domain. That’s why you’re unable to send emails from your Google Workspace account.

Change this to:

"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:44981364.spf04.hubspotemail.net -all"

… which should authorize both Google and Hubspot.
