The rest is just like RFC-1035 zone file syntax. So "* (All Others)" is a wildcard record. It would match any request for a subdomain which does not have any other records. "@ (None)" refers to the origin domain, <mortonwelding.com.> with no subdomain. SPF is generally configured for the 2LD (second level domain, i.e., <mortonwelding.com.>), so you would want to enter your SPF information in the "@ (None)" line. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
