I have two servers.
The first server uses a hostname of
myserver.com, and I set the A record for myserver.com as the IP address of the first
server.
The second server uses the hostname
server2.myserver.com, and I set the A record for server2.myserver.com as the IP address
of the second server.
The second server, a
DigitalOcean droplet (CentOS), hosts a simple WordPress website, mywebsite.com and a
couple of other sites. The IP is
138.xxx.xxx.148.
When a message is
sent from the contact form on mywebsite.com, it arrives in Gmail spam. The SPF check is
"neutral" and the message it says
is:
Received-SPF: neutral (google.com:
138.xxx.xxx.148 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of
info@server2.myserver.com)
client-ip=138.xxx.xxx.148;
I have added an SPF
record for mywebsite.com:
v=spf1 a ip4:138.xxx.xxx.148/32
a:server2.myserver.com ~all
And I added the same
SPF record for the myserver.com.
Somewhere here
I must be making an error but cannot seem to figure it out. Perhaps I simply cannot use
the same domain name as the hostname for both
servers?
I have tried several
combinations of IPs and domains within the spf record, across the website domain and
server domain, without success.
Thanks in
advance for any help you can provide.
