Hi,
I'm setting up DNS records on my VPS so I can use my domain with a Microsoft Exchange Server. I have successfully added the MX and CNAME records, but am having issues with the TXT SPF1 record.
I have entered the TXT Value

But I am getting a failed notice from Outlook:

When I look at the DNS via mxtoolbox, I get this error: Invalid syntax found, and It shows me:
Session Transcript:
I have tried entering the SPF value any number of ways - with quotes, without, with spaces, without - and WHM reshapes it without spaces. So there is that difference. Additionally, the TTL should be 3600, but it's showing as 14440.
I'm at a loss - any help appreciated.
