You can use the GlockApps <a href=\"https:\/\/glockapps.com\/spf-record-checker\/\">free SPF Checker<\/a> to verify the validity of the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the DNS lookup limit is exceeded, double check the senders included in the record and remove the ones you are not using for email sending.
