Hello. I have recently transferred my domain to OVH and used the 100M free hosting to get an email for it.
Everything works fine with receiving, but sending is different. I get a message that SPF and DKIM couldn’t not be verified or something like this.
Help would be much appreciated

Hi. Here the guide on how to create the SPF. https://help.ovhcloud.com/csm/en-ie-dns-spf-record?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0051701

are they ok?
That’s good. Check you have only one row in the dns zone that starts with “v=spf1
prime crystal
I have only this one TXT and one SPF

Ok. Check if that spf is propagated over internet. Do you know how or need help?

Please help

Open a website like dnschecker dot org
Write your domain and choose TXT
And click search. Do you see the spf?
prime crystal
yeah all checks, only uk one is "X"
zinc pine
Perfect. In that case the problem os not the spf error. Or you feel confident to paste here the real error so I can check it for you or you can open a ticket request directly to OVH support.

is it not something with the DKIM? Or maybe the fact that I set it up quite recently?

Like nobody or almost nobody in the world wants DKIM as mandatory. And we just check the dns propagation over internet and you told me that is fine.

this is the error you asked for

How “recently” are we talk about?
prime crystal
How “recently” are we talk about?
today, in the time period of the last few hours
zinc pine
No ok. Is the classic gmail error. You just need the SPF and you have it.
prime crystal
So just wait I guess?
zinc pine
today, in the time period of the last few hours
Ah ok
Give gmail time to read the spf in internet
Yes. If tomorrow in the first afternoon the problem persists contact the support
prime crystal
Right. Btw does the fact that I added this ovh mail to my gmail account so I can receive and send emails from there changes anything?

Nope. You are still using OVH SMTP that is covered by the official SPF (that you have)
prime crystal
Ok, so I will wait then. Thank you very much and have a great day
