What should I do

Fix SPF PermError

A receiver cannot interpret the record. Fix the DNS. A later retry will not clear a permerror the way it can clear a temperror.

  • Leave one TXT record that starts with v=spf1. A second one on the same name is a permerror.
  • If any term is not valid SPF syntax, evaluation stops immediately with permerror. Remove the broken term.
  • If evaluation needs more than 10 DNS-querying terms, that is also permerror. The lookup page is the count.
