Multiple SPF records found

RFC 7208 permits exactly one SPF record per name. Publishing two makes receivers return permerror and ignore both.

What causes it

  • Adding a second TXT record when a new provider was onboarded, instead of extending the existing one.
  • A hosting control panel silently adding its own SPF record alongside yours.

How to fix it

Merge them by hand into one record: keep a single v=spf1 at the start, concatenate every mechanism from both records, and keep exactly one all mechanism at the end. Then delete the other TXT record.
