One Click Auto SPF Record with Unlimited Lookups that never fails the 10 DNS Lookup limit! An Automatic SPF flattening approach to your Sender Policy Framework Record that instantly mitigates SPF PermError and helps you stay under SPF 10 lookup limit.
The answer is simple: if you exceed the SPF 10 lookup limit, that is if you have too many mechanisms in your SPF record so as to exceed the SPF limit of 10 per SPF check, it will lead to SPF failure for your emails. This is because as soon as you exceed the SPF limit, your record is rendered invalid. This returns an SPF PermError result. To avoid this the recommended solution is to flatten (shorten) your record and remove redundancy using an SPF flattening tool like PowerSPF.
If you have DMARC implemented for your domains, the SPF permanent error is perceived by DMARC as an SPF failure. This can provoke the receiving server to prevent the email from reaching the recipient’s inbox. The only way to bypass this SPF limit is to keep your SPF DNS lookups restricted to a maximum of 10.
However, this isn’t as easy as it may appear. This is because if you’re running a business you would inevitably be outsourcing your email marketing campaigns, relaying messages via third-party vendors on a daily basis. If you don’t rely on SPF flattening, this will result in exceeding the SPF limit faster than you have anticipated and return SPF PermError results.
Optimizing your record for SPF is crucial if your want to stay updated on any possibility of ‘PermError SPF permanent error: too many DNS lookups’ result being returned.

In SPF email authentication, every time an email is sent from your domain to your recipient’s domain, your recipient’s email server performs DNS query requests, also known as DNS lookups to check the presence of authorized IP addresses in your DNS and match them to the ones in the received email’s return-path header. However, according to standard SPF protocol specifications, the number of DNS lookups that can be performed is limited to 10. This is known as the 10 DNS lookup limit.
Your cloud-based email exchange service provider and third-party vendors add to the number of DNS lookups which makes it extremely easy to exceed the SPF 10 lookup limit and return SPF PermError result.
When an SPF record cannot be verified by the recipient mailbox provider, an SPF permerror result is returned to the sender in case the sending domain has DMARC monitoring enabled. When your SPF record generates too many DNS lookups and exceeds the 10 DNS lookup limit, it is rendered invalid, and in such cases this permerror result is returned to the sending domain. PowerSPF helps you mitigate SPF permerror by instantly flattening your SPF record.
SPF flattening isn’t a one-time deal. If your email service provider changes their infrastructure, you’re going to have to change your SPF records accordingly. Every single time.
The more third-party vendors you have sending email from your domain, the more email providers you all use. If any one of them changes, you have to change your SPF record all over again. If you exceed the 10 dns lookup limits you will get SPF permerror or SPF temperror.
PowerSPF carries out automatic flattening, and auto updates the netblocks to make sure your authorized IPs are always up-to-date. This ensures that your SPF record is always less than that SPF 10 lookup limit to avoid hitting the SPF exceed limit. Never worry about permerror or too many DNS lookups limit. An easy SPF Compression tool.
