Getting SOFTFAIL results on the SPF check for your emails

This results in emails from you guys to frequently show up in my spam folder.

Specifically, here's a subset of the headers that appeared in my most recent mod update alert email:

Code:
Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning [email protected] does not designate 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fef1:90b6 as permitted sender) client-ip=2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fef1:90b6;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
       spf=softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning [email protected] does not designate 2600:3c00::f03c:91ff:fef1:90b6 as permitted sender) [email protected]
And here are the results from "dig -t TXT esoui.com":

Code:
; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.10-Ubuntu <<>> -t TXT esoui.com

It looks like you need to add a valid IPv6 address range to that one TXT record.

Very nice catch LLJKTechnogeek!

I'll get the DNS fixed up later tonight. Sorry for the trouble.

Edit: SPF record updated to include IPv6 address.
