I am on CloudFlare, using postfix and have mybb email to be [email protected]. I have Wordpress on my domain and the forum in a subdomain
I have set my SPF record to
v=spf1 ip4:ip.of.mbbserver.subdomain a include:htpcguides.com  ~all
Activation emails are only working to gmail (outlook.com, hotmail, yahoo not working at all) but with this error

Any ideas how to fix this? I've tried adjusting the spf but keep getting the same error.

I got it working, if anybody stumbles upon this and you are using CloudFlare, I had to add a TXT record with the code above, the SPF record type didn't work funnily enough.
