Hello Patrick,
This email is about security issue #6 reported yesterday on
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.
Best regards,
