Issue 
------

We are getting the following error report for SPF record:  
 "SPF record is present, but invalid. No SPF record found for "\_spf.[acquia.com](https://acquia.com/)". 

Your SPF record:

"v=spf1 ip4:XX.XX.XX.XXX include:\_spf.[acquia.com](https://acquia.com/) -all""

Resolution 
-----------

If you have the old SPF record setup in the DNS provider, please remove it.

Cause 
------

The SPF record `_spf.acquia.com` is from the Legacy Email service used for verifying email addresses. Since Acquia has removed the Legacy Email service from the platform, `_spf.acquia.com` is no longer required.
