Add SPF records so Gmail will accept mail from my server
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am looking for someone to add SPF records to my server so that Gmail will accept mail from it. I have access to my domain's DNS settings and currently use Microsoft Exchange as my email service provider hosted on servers that I own. However, I am experiencing bounce-backs and email delivery issues.
Ideal skills and experience:
- Experience with DNS settings and SPF records
- Knowledge Gmail email SPF
- Ability to troubleshoot and resolve email delivery issues
Here is the error message I am getting
