Hi Mike, thanks so much
If I understand this correctly, I cannot have the form send emails to the various directors of this non profit group to their personal email addresses? We don’t have a separate email server for that organization hence no separate accounts in that domain. We have 2 or 3 accounts via GoDaddy free email accounts, that’s it.
If this understanding is correct then this form is not useful to me, it’s only useful to a company with its own email service.
Can you clarify this?
Joe
I thought this may be useful:

This is a test email generated by the Fast Secure Contact Form
WordPress plugin.
I suggest you completely follow Step 3, part (a), b and c: on the help page I sent you because that is the first part of solving the problem.
I did that and my mail to google is SPF pass
It is really hard to help you in a public forum when I cannot see any of the actual settings, addresses, domains.
If you need more help make a support ticket:

The trick which worked for me was to use ip4 numbers in lieu of the names of the servers. In my case I only needed the ip number of the sending host where I have the site hosted.
In other words, the form utilizes PHP via my host, so I created an MX record for the host name subomain.hostdomain.com and then created a txt file with the ip like this: ip4:111.222.333.4 ip4:444.555.666.5 for the various sending hosts listed as MX in the domain record of the site using the form mailer plugin.
So there’s the host, hosting the site, both listed as an ip4 and an mx in the dns. It is the ip4 number which is required for the TXT record because it is not possible to create an A record for a separate domain, but it is possible to list its ip number in TXT.
Again, this is a scenario whereby there is no MX handling the site using the plugin, or none which has an A record in the zone file of that site, which may be many cases.
If this all makes sense, it may help others in getting an SPF check passed.
Joe
