Step 5
Response
The matter was escalated rather than finalized. The draft advised confirming all outgoing mail services for the domain before publishing a final SPF record, using a monitoring-only DMARC setup first, and reviewing the DNS entries before saving.
Step 6
Evaluating Response
The correct SPF setup depends on whether the domain sends mail through only one service or through multiple services, so giving a final record without that confirmation could cause a misconfiguration. The destination for DMARC reports was also not specified, and sending reports to the wrong mailbox would be unhelpful. Escalation was the safest path until those details are confirmed.
