SPF Flattening Risk Report
Submit a domain or SPF record and receive a focused review of lookup depth, include-chain complexity, stale-record risk, and whether flattening is a safe move.
This is a diagnostic report, not DNS account access or live implementation.

- whether this is an active sending domain or a parked domain.
Output
- SPF lookup count,
- recursive include tree,
- flattening risk,
- stale-record risk,
- cleanup plan,
- safe or unsafe flattening verdict.

Fixed-output policy
Veldica reports are fixed-output diagnostic products. This is a request-first pilot flow; Veldica will review whether the request fits the selected scope and contact you with next steps and a payment link if approved. No calls. No live troubleshooting. No DNS account access.
Sample verdict
Verdict: Do not flatten as-is.
The record is close to the lookup limit. Several includes appear to belong to active vendors. Remove unused senders first, then re-check the recursive lookup count. Flattening active vendor includes without monitoring may create stale IP risk.
When This Helps
Use this report before you replace vendor includes with static IPs. It is also useful when a client asks for SPF flattening but the safer answer may be removing unused senders or monitoring lookup drift.
What It Does Not Include
The report does not edit your DNS, log into provider accounts, or maintain a flattened record over time. If you need recurring checks, use the Veldica Pro Audit API.
