I have been asked to apply DMARC protection to a domain. Part of this requires me to add an DNS record to the domain management console, however I have come across a stumbling block. The DMARC checker says there is a problem with the SPF record of my client's domain...
The problem is the Sabre part of the record which is using 13 lookups, but the maximum is 10. I have attempted to speak with Sabre technical support, who say that in order to help me, I will need a referral from my authorised Sabre distributor (which was probably a fob off because they didn't know) and as the domain holder is the customer, I don't have one.
Any suggestions to go about troubleshooting this?
include:spf.provider.example
may indicate that your customer has included a record meant for a providers own mail domain, not the one provided for their clients to include when subscribed to specific services. Maybe the actually intended record would be a single lookup. Probably a good idea to confirm, even if it involves emailing your client with a request to forward to [email protected].
