SPF uses the ptr mechanism

The SPF record includes the ptr mechanism.

Why it matters

ptr is deprecated, slow, and unreliable. Receivers may ignore it.

What to do

Remove ptr and name the sending hosts or includes directly.

Reference

SPF records specify which hosts may send mail for the domain.
