I copied and pasted that from /etc/namedb/wananchi.com - which is the
zone file for wananchi.com domains (obviously ;)).
I would like to know if there are reasons why the spf records are not
visible. I know this is now getting OT, but SPF remain WT (withing

I disabled the SPF info yesterday, but some folk (not far from where I
live) is actively rejecting mail from my server! I will wait for the
DNS refresh interval and fire back at him as well...
