Hi Chandra,

I think there is a problem with your SPF record. I don't know if that
would cause the wizard to reject it.

You have:

v=spf1 a mx mx:smtp.iris.co.id ip4:202.127.110.145/28 ~all

the mx: in front of smtp.iris.co.id means "find the address associated
with the MX record for smtp.iris.co.id". There is no such record. I
suspect you just meant that mail could be sent via smtp.iris.co.id, in
which case you could use

v=spf1 a mx smtp.iris.co.id ip4:202.127.110.145/28 ~all

To go a bit further, the MX for iris.co.id already contains
smtp.iris.co.id, so you don't need to add smtp.iris.co.id , and
ip4:202.127.110.145/28 also contains all the other hosts you mention.

So you could reduce it to

v=spf1 ip4:202.127.110.145/28 ~all
or
v=spf1 ip4:202.127.110.144/28 ~all


this may be wrong spf definition but there is nothing invlid in syntax. Maybe 
microsoft's wizard 
have problem with another txt record ?

iris.co.id      text =

        "IRIS Sistem Inforindo"

Try to eliminate this and check again.
