[bodies.security-advisory-board] FW: [security] (Bug Report)No valid SPF record.

Hello Patrick, This email is about security issue #6 reported yesterday on security@sparta.eu<mailto:security@sparta.eu>. It does not seem to be a critical security issue but this would be better to have SPF records to the sparta.eu domain and subdomains (DKIM and DMARC are dealt with in security issue #4). Could you please have a look at this? At the moment, we have only server.sparta.eu IN TXT "v=spf1 mx -all" in the DNS zone.
