Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It's 100% free, no registration required.

My domain is already with Amazon Route 53 and I can use the cli53 command line tool quite happily to maintain it.

We are moving to use Amazon SES and I would like to add an SPF record to the domain, as per the docs... we have no prior existing record. This is just for automated emails to customers, not internal user accounts.

I can't for the life of me figure out what the command line is to do this, can anyone provide an example?

$ cli53 rrcreate -x 3600 -r --wait mydomain.com '' 'SPF' 'v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ?all'

Traceback (most recent call last):
...
boto.route53.exception.DNSServerError: DNSServerError: 400 Bad Request
...
  
    Sender
    InvalidChangeBatch
    Invalid Resource Record: FATAL problem: InvalidTXTRDATA encountered at v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ?all

@ceejayoz's comment has the answer, which is to add double quotes around the TXT record data.

cli53 rrcreate -x 3600 -r --wait mydomain.com '' 'SPF' '"v=spf1 include:amazonses.com ?all"'
