*** Only outgoing email traffic to recipient's mail server that applied SPF checking will be affected  ***

Service Disruption Details:
As default our shared hosting SPF record is using the following:

v=spf1 include:spf.mschosting.com -all

 
This SPF record consists of all Exabytes shared hosting IP addresses and when there is a new IP range, we will modify on spf.mschosting.com

 

Our team find out spf.mschosting.com DNS entry corrupted this morning and our team is working on it.

 

Service Disruption Affects:
During the service disruption period, all outgoing email traffic will get a SPF checking failure status to recipient's mail server that applied SPF checking.

520 ip and spf record not match
