Would you share that subdomain here in Preformatted text

mautic.vinfur.in

Regarding “mautic.vinfur.in”, -

There is an email authentication related SPF (type TXT) record on that “mautic” label.

That record will kill the wildcard expansion for “mautic”, and everything below that label (such as e.g. “test.mautic” or “example.mautic”).

Vinfur.in is the main Domain.
Mautic.vinfur.in is a Subdomain itself.

*.vinfur.in is the wildcard entry

A wildcard record, such as e.g. “*.vinfur.in” does NOT cover “mautic.vinfur.in”, as long as you have this record in your DNS:

mautic.vinfur.in.       300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:190.92.174.32 +include:spf.mysecurecloudhost.com ~all"

Yes, -

As explained here:

You literally need to re-create the records that are no longer matching the wildcard, so that they are matching your desired outcome again.

When you have “*”, and are creating “mautic”, and that you also want e.g. the “MX” records for “mautic”, to go to the same place as the “*” wildcard, re-create these “MX” records on “mautic” too, and if necessary, create another wildcard below “mautic”, too.

Let’s say you have a zone file, with e.g.:

*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      MX       10     mail-inbound.example.com.
*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      A        192.0.2.80
*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      AAAA     2001:db8::80

And that you also want them to apply, when you have a record, like e.g.:

mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:190.92.174.32 +include:spf.mysecurecloudhost.com ~all"

Then you will add the same records once more, but at the label where the other wildcard isn’t matching any more.

Final result:

*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      MX       10     mail-inbound.example.com.
*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      A        192.0.2.80
*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      AAAA     2001:db8::80

mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:190.92.174.32 +include:spf.mysecurecloudhost.com ~all"

mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      MX       10     mail-inbound.example.com.
mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      A        192.0.2.80
mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      AAAA     2001:db8::80

If you also need the records to apply, wildcard like, for records below “mautic.vinfur.in”, such as e.g. “alfa.bravo.mautic.vinfur.in”, you can also add another wildcad on “*.mautic.vinfur.in.”, so the final result becomes:

*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      MX       10     mail-inbound.example.com.
*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      A        192.0.2.80
*.vinfur.in.                 86400     IN      AAAA     2001:db8::80

mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:190.92.174.32 +include:spf.mysecurecloudhost.com ~all"

mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      MX       10     mail-inbound.example.com.
mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      A        192.0.2.80
mautic.vinfur.in.            86400     IN      AAAA     2001:db8::80

*.mautic.vinfur.in.          86400     IN      MX       10     mail-inbound.example.com.
*.mautic.vinfur.in.          86400     IN      A        192.0.2.80
*.mautic.vinfur.in.          86400     IN      AAAA     2001:db8::80

If you need it for other labels too, you can simply re-do the steps as shown here for “mautic.vinfur.in”, for other labels, such as e.g. “api.vinfur.in”, “example.vinfur.in” or “intranet.vinfur.in” as well.

As soon as you create one record on some label, you will need to re-create the (previous) wildcard records for that specific label (and the labels below), if they are necessary for your operation.

It may unfortunately require quite some records, but it is the only way.

How simple (or complicated) the set up needs to be, depends on the actual records you require, and how identical (or different) they are from each other.
