_spf.prod.hydra.sophos.com SPF record: costs 5 of your 10 DNS lookups
Evaluated from public DNS on . Records change, so check it live before you rely on the number.
5 of 10 lookups
Adding include:_spf.prod.hydra.sophos.com to an SPF record uses
5 of the ten DNS lookups a receiving server allows:
one for the include itself, and 4 for what
_spf.prod.hydra.sophos.com's own record pulls in.
That is half the budget or more. If the vendor lets you send from a subdomain, give it its own record there and its lookups stop counting against your root domain. If it insists on your root domain, you can hand SPF Guru this include alone and leave the rest of your record as it is:
include:_spf.prod.hydra.sophos.com._i.%{ir}.my.spf.guruThat costs one lookup whatever sits behind it. How offloading one vendor works.
