 * Hello Alan! Q. It seems plugin do not update/refresh the SPF record it displays
   in plugin settings section no matter if I Disable/Enable plugin or completely
   reinstall it. Is there some time delay I am not aware of or is it a simple glitch
   that it will grab the record only upon first install, and won’t refresh changes
   later?! Thanks.

 * The plugin calls directly the php function
 * $dns = @dns_get_record( $domain, DNS_TXT );
   So there is no delay by the plugin.
   But DNS itself is propagtes across the world and can take 12 – 24 hours and extreme
   cases 72 hoursThere are plenty of DNS propagation testing tools on the web you
   can serach for and see what the state of your DNS updates are e.g. [https://www.whatsmydns.net](https://www.whatsmydns.net)
   select TXT as the record type for SPF

 * Well one of websites do not see DNS records even after multiple days. Records
   are all fine as I see and can check on whatsmydns. Also emails do come in clean.
   If background works I am not worried about visual part.
