I performed all the steps with no issue. The only part that is not clear is the confirguration of the TXT record on domain. in my registar, the record is TXT/SPF. Below is the record that i configured, i included the part "include:outlook.com ~all?" would this be the correct setting? This is the only record for TXT/SPF.
v=spf1 ip4:xx.xx.xxx8.0/18 include:outlook.com ~all?
Thanks,
