SPF validation failed new subdomain mailgun error sending blocked fails
Complete solution
When it applies
Fixes Mailgun sending blocked by SPF validation failure after adding a new sending subdomain. Use when a new Mailgun domain or subdomain fails verification or messages are rejected for SPF. Not for an established domain whose SPF passed until an unrelated DNS change.
In Mailgun, open the new domain or subdomain and copy the exact SPF TXT value shown on its DNS records page.
In your DNS provider, create a TXT record on the exact subdomain host that Mailgun lists, not on the root and not on a www host.
Check that the subdomain has only one SPF TXT record.
Count the DNS lookups in the merged SPF record if you also send through other services from the same subdomain.
Wait for propagation, then click verify in Mailgun again.
Send a test message from the subdomain and check its authentication results in the received headers.
