Terminal all qualifiers: pass, fail, softfail, neutral
terminal all qualifiers · spf validator · v=spf1
Terminal all qualifiers: pass, fail, softfail, neutral. SPF authorizes mail senders through a single v=spf1 TXT record published at the domain apex, not at _dmarc or DKIM selectors. DN01 returns parsed mechanisms, lookup estimates, warnings, and a shareable result URL for the same domain after DNS changes.

SPF authorizes mail senders through a single v=spf1 TXT record published at the domain apex, not at _dmarc or DKIM selectors. Each mechanism—include, ip4, ip6, mx, a, ptr, exists, or redirect—adds an authorization rule evaluated in order until a match or terminal all. terminal all qualifiers: pass, fail, softfail, neutral. Receivers enforce a ten-DNS-lookup budget while evaluating includes and redirects; exceeding it causes permerror for strict parsers.

Terminal all with -all rejects unauthorized mail, ~all soft-fails, ?all is neutral, and +all is dangerously permissive for production brands.
