SPF Lookup Limit: The 10 DNS Lookup Rule

RFC 7208 limits SPF evaluation to ten DNS lookups, and exceeding that limit causes a PermError that breaks authentication.

What we found

2 things worth knowing about this record, most serious first.

  • High

    Record too long for DNS

    A single DNS TXT string may not exceed 255 characters, and oversized responses can be truncated in transit. The TXT records on this domain total 729 bytes, which risks truncation.

  • Note

    Macro in use

    The mechanism include:%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email uses an SPF macro. Macros are evaluated per message and cannot be flattened, so this lookup stays even after flattening.

How the 1 lookups are counted

RFC 7208 counts one DNS lookup for each include, redirect, a, mx, ptr, and exists mechanism evaluated — including nested chains.

1 / 10 used

%{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email · 1
  1. 1
    include %{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email

    Counted toward %{i}._ip.%{h}._ehlo.%{d}._spf.vali.email

Each row is one DNS lookup consumed while evaluating your SPF record. The segments above sum to 1.

What if you changed something

Turn a sender off to see what removing it would free up, or add one to see how close it takes you to the limit. Nothing here changes your DNS — it is arithmetic on the numbers above.

Validated · 1 / 10 lookups
Paused — compare your current SPF chain with one managed include side by side. Each provider include consumes DNS lookups toward the 10-lookup limit. Flattening provider includes into one managed record… Your public SPF stays simple — SPF Manager maintains the rest.

What changes if you let us manage it

One include, whatever you add

Your record becomes a single include that we host. Adding another provider later changes what resolves behind it, not what you publish, so your own record stops growing toward the 10-lookup limit.

Provider changes are our problem

When a provider quietly starts sending from new addresses — or starts costing more lookups than it used to — we see it and republish. You never find out from a bounce.

Always current, never touched

You publish one TXT record once. From then on the addresses behind it stay correct without you editing DNS again.
