I'm having a problem with my SPF. Looking in mxtoolbox.com for my SPF record, I get the error Too many included lookups. I should have to remove some of my 'include' options or try to flatten some of them, but it seems not very easy to maintain. Here is my SPF record:

v=spf1 a:mail.mydomainexample.com.br ip4:xxx192.xxx0.xxx2.12 ip4:xxx192.xxx0.xxx2.13 include:no-ip.com include:_spf.google.com include:spf-1.xmailer.com.br ~all

So the point is, I don't know if I can remove some of my 'include' options. The last one xmailer, I already know that I can't remove, but the no-ip and google I'm not sure about. Here we don't use Google Workspace, we only use Gmail for sending and receiving emails. And about No-IP, it's because we have two different addresses that people send emails from, but we can also send emails from other IP addresses, so it seems that No-IP isn't necessary to send emails.

Can you help me? I'll keep searching for something that I can do.
