The one you’re mentioning here on the Cloudflare Community has a invalid syntax.

:point_up_2:

You have an additional “v=spf1”, just before “v=spf1 include:zoho.eu”.

That being said, - the mentioned one doesn’t match the actual SPF record, that is published in the DNS system at the moment.

For the one, that has been published in the DNS system at the moment, you do at least have the following mistakes:

  1. You’re referencing “include:_eu-sender.zohobooks.com”, that doesn’t exist.

  2. You’re referencing “include:_zoho.eu”, that doesn’t exist.

  3. You’re referencing “include:_eu-sender.zohoinvoice.com”, that doesn’t exist.

I have changed it to this is it right ? “v=spf1 include:_eu-sender.zohobooks.com include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de include:_spf.google.com ~all”

No.

#1 from above still applies.

So sorry, i have changed it and now Cloudflare is putting numbers ib front of the record:
“\226\128\156v=spf1 include:include:zoho.com include:sender.zohobooks.com include:_spf.perfora.net include:_spf.kundenserver.de include:_spf.google.com ~all\226\128\157”

There appears to be no numbers, in the record, that is published in the DNS system at the moment.

But you have now messed up with “zoho.com”, by doing “include:include:zoho.com”.

Remove one of these duplicate “include:”'s.
