Spam Warning

I am getting the following spam notice

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email validation system designed to prevent email spam by detecting email spoofing, a common vulnerability, by verifying sender IP addresses.
What we retained as your current SPF record is:

v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:204.44.192.76 +ip4:67.210.122.222 +include:stsvartanantz.com _all
More information about this error:

What do I do to fix this.

Thanks

Hi,

Your SPF record is not valid, it contains a recursive loop. This indicates that the SPF record for the domain contains recursive issue with one or more of the "includes". One of the domains specified in the "include" tag contains a domain whose SPF record contains an "include" tag for the original domain. This creates a "loop" problem that would cause mail servers to continuously perform TXT lookups for the SPF records. As such, mail servers will end processing of SPF and return a permanent error.

Please remove +include:stsvartanantz.com from your SPF record. Be aware that it can take up to 24 hours before a change in a dns record is fully propagated.
