Can you tell me why SPF is showing Permerror?

The “​PermError” error means the published SPF record could not be verified by the mailbox provider. PermErrors are usually caused by a syntax or format error in the SPF record.

To fix the SPF Permerror, verify the SPF record for your “From” email domain and for the “Return-Path” email domain to ensure your SPF records are set up correctly and don’t have any extra spaces or unrecognizable characters in the DNS TXT records.

​You can use the GlockApps free SPF record checker to verify the SPF record.
