Hello,

I have a question regarding setting up an SPF record. Does the server
information need to be an IP address or can it be a domain? For example,
would this format be ok?

v=spf1 ptr include:coolmail.com -all

Thank you!

Format yes.  Coolmail.com has to have an SPF record for this to work (it 
doesn't now).

PTR is legal, but should be avoided if at all possible (it's virtually always 
possible).

Testing can be done at http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html

I've cc'ed spf-help.  I'd recommend follow-ups there.
