I've got three domains registered with easily.co.uk. One is a .me.uk domain and the other two are .co.uk. I use the webmail at ionos.co.uk for emails for all three domains
Gmail is often rejecting emails from the .co.uk domains. The returned emails have links from Gmail (
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication) about making sure my SPF record is up to date. I looked at the SPF records and all three domains had this:-
"v=spf1 include:spfc51.megamailservers.com ~all"
Ionos recommend this:-
"v=spf1 include:_spf-eu.ionos.com ~all"
so that is what I changed all three to.
However, half an hour later, emails are still being bounced.
Questions:-
1) Am I looking at the right things to change, or am I barking up the wrong tree completely?
2) Is the problem because I am using webmain from ionos
.co.uk but the SPF record is for ionos
.com3) Will there be a problem using emails from my iPhone that sends via auth.smtp.1and1.co.uk, the older name for Ionos?
4) Am I being a bit too hasty and I need to leave it a day or so after changing the SPF record before Gmail notices?
