Google recommends a slightly version than what you have. Also, you can send an e-mail to [email protected] to validate your settings.
To be honest, you're going to face a tough battle. I was at a company where we sent a large amount of e-mails to professors throughout the country and were constantly battling bounces and Spam filters (this was all opt-in keep in mind). What I would suggest is monitor your bounce backs and click-throughs to ensure nothing is amiss.
One technique I could suggest would be to setup an internal SpamAssassin (or use MailScanner) on a different domain and send your draft e-mails to an account on that system. Enable the option to put scores in the header and then you can look at the e-mail to ensure that nothing you're doing is triggering a huge score.
Good luck! -Mike On 2/15/12 7:05 PM, Vimal Shah wrote:
Hello All, We regularly need to send emails (not marketing but student achievement metrics) to elementary school teachers across the country. We've been getting some of our email blocks at schools and so along with contacting the IT person to get whitelisted, we've just set up an SPF record in GoDaddy's DNS manager. It created a record (with PTR) and a value = v=spf1 mx ptr include:_spf.google.com. ~all <https://dns.godaddy.com/ZoneFile.aspx?zone=SOKIKOM.COM&zoneType=0&refer=dcc#> We send all email through google. Does this seem right? Are there any other records that should be included to maximize the probability of email delivery?
