Some alert readers may recall a discussion I started some time back
trying to solve the mystery of why hotmail would drop my emails.
Today I
finally setup an SPF record for my domain hoping to solve the as yet
unresolved problem. Does anyone know how long it ought to take
hotmail
to notice my SPF record? And more imprtantly: will it even make a
difference?
According to dnsreport.com, the SPF record showed up immediately, but
enterprisey services like hotmail tend to cache stuff like this I
imagine. Thoughts?
Shouldn't be longer than your dns ttl I would think.
That is the main idea behind TTL, but not all servers honor it. I
would give it 24-48 hours if you are not seeing success already.
One thing to help with the big boys free email (hotmail, yahoo, etc.)
make sure to take care of any warnings that DNSreport gives you. I
found some on a domain that was having problems sending mail to the
big boys and fixing those warnings seem to have solved the problem.
