FAQ
What actually causes SPF PermError, and why does it silently break everything?
SPF has a hard limit of 10 DNS lookups per check — every include, a, mx, ptr, and redirect mechanism counts. Once you exceed 10 (common when you've added Google Workspace, a CRM, a marketing tool, and a helpdesk over time, each adding their own include)
What does "flattening" an SPF record actually mean?
Instead of using include: statements that require additional DNS lookups (each nested include adds more), flattening resolves those includes down to their actual static IP addresses and lists them directly in your SPF record
Can you just remove some includes to get under 10, or does it require real restructuring?
It depends on your setup. Sometimes there are genuinely redundant or outdated includes (a marketing tool you stopped using two years ago, a duplicate Google include) that can simply be removed. Other times every include is legitimately needed, which is when flattening becomes necessary
Will fixing SPF alone fix my deliverability, or are there other factors?
SPF is one piece — if you're also missing or misaligned on DKIM and DMARC, or if your issue is actually about content/sender reputation rather than authentication, SPF fixes alone won't fully resolve deliverability. I check DKIM/DMARC alignment as part of this service
How do I even know if I'm hitting the 10 lookup limit — is there a way to check?
Yes, I run your domain through SPF validation tools that count lookups explicitly and show exactly where you're exceeding the limit and which specific includes are contributing the most nested lookups — you'll get a clear picture of the actual chain, not just a pass/fail result.
What do you need from me to start — and how fast can this be fixed?
Your domain name and DNS management access (or willingness to add the records I provide). Timeline: Basic diagnosis within 1 day; Standard fix and flatten within 2 days; Premium full overhaul with monitoring setup within 4 days — DNS propagation may add up to 48 hours for full global effect.
