Pet Peeve.. *grr* why use Macro's when you can hard code the value?
The more explicit you can be, the safer you are..

Not to mention, easier for the rest of the world to see what your intentions are..

I'm a Technical Product Manager at Fortra (Agari) and we are having issues with M365 SPF processing which is significantly impacting many customers who use our hosted SPF service. This will also be a wider issue for many other senders.

We have noticed a change in behavior during M365 receipt where SPF records with "exists" mechanisms are not being observed properly - causing rejections and failed DMARC-SPF outcomes.

_If I have an SPF record where an IP6 is defined before an "exists", SPF authentication works OK._

"v=spf1 *ip6:2a0d:7c40:3000:3d9::2* exists:%{i}._i.%{d}._d.espf.agari-dns.net include:%{d}.fb.spf-protect.agari-dns.net -all"

_However, if an SPF record first lists an "exists", SPF fails to validate which is not expected behaviour and other receivers do not have similar issues._

Eg:

v=spf1 *exists:*%{i}._i.%{d}._d.espf.agari-dns.net include:%{d}.fb.spf-protect.agari-dns.net -all

-or-

v=spf1 *exists:*%{i}._i.%{d}._d.espf.agari-dns.net include:%{d}.fb.spf-protect.agari-dns.net *ip6:2a0d:7c40:3000:3d9::2* -all

/<** 450 4.7.26 Service does not accept messages sent over IPv6 [2a0d:7c40:3000:3d9::2] unless they pass either SPF or DKIM validation (message not signed) (S825). [CW2PEPF000056BD.GBRP265.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM 2025-02-06T09:40:07.649Z 08DD403C4BFB3BA6]/

Really trying this mailop list as an avenue to get my voice heard by Microsoft as I don’t believe they are processing SPF correctly at the moment.
