Hi,

During routine maintenance on our mailserver I noticed the following in the log:

[22/Jul/2020 14:33:33] Error when parsing SPF TXT record for domain: ovirt.org, envelope-from=users-bounces@ovirt.org, message: Invalid character found near "" in "66.187.233.88"

A check on MXtoolbox also gives an invalid systax error:

v=spf1 a:mail.ovirt.org a:gerrit.ovirt.org 66.187.233.88 ~all

SoftFail Always matches. It goes at the end of your record.

Thanks for the report. Adding some more relevant people.

Best regards,
