Hello, I just signed up for the tiny plan about a day ago and so far everything is going pretty well. I am trying to setup google apps for my domain (elmorespire.com) but have ran into some issues with setting up the SPF record and DKIM signing.

   As of now i'm only using google apps for gmail and docs (I unchecked the calendar and sites). I went into the MX Entry in Cpanel and deleted the mxrecord that had my domain name with a priority of 0 and added the following:

1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

I set the routing option to Remote Mail Exchanger.
(As of this posting it says I have successfully set them up)

   Then I got to the part where it wants me to set up SPF and DKIM. I went to the advanced DNS zone editor and tried adding the SPF record but it comes up with an error saying "TTL must be a positive integer" and "TXT Data cannot be empty or more than 255 characters".

Where did I go wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

When adding the TXT record:

domain name = google._domainkey.yourdomain.com
TTL = 3600 (usually)
Type = TXT
TXT data = "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=blahblahblah" (include the quotes I believe, whatever google apps tells you to put there).
