HestiaCP [SPF Record] + Cloudflare

Hello,

I’m using Cloudflare to manage my DNS records. Cloudflare states, “The number of lookups on your SPF record exceeds the allowed limit of 10. This will result in emails failing SPF authentication. Review record.”

This only occurs on the HestiaCP [SPF]. But when I use Sendinblue STMP service, I do not encounter this problem on the Cloudflare DNS Management dashboard. But I still want to use the built-in email features of HestiaCP 'cause I can send email without limits.

Is there any workaround to fix this? It hurts my email reputation too.

Thank you!

What SFP record do you use?

Here’s my SPF configuration.

I read this documentation to install HestiaCP.

Use @ instead of domain.tld and it should work fine
