Finding code
spf_syntax_error
This finding appears in the findings array of
the spam checker and
the POST /v1/sender API response when the
condition above is detected.
How to fix it
The fix.
Fix the syntax. Common mistakes: a missing space after a mechanism, a mistyped qualifier, or a bare domain without a mechanism keyword.
