Hi Jamie

my original post said
>>>
looking at the slave bind record via
https://slaveIP:10000/bind8/edit_slave.cgi?index=NNN
it only shows the TXT record field as being empty

but looking at the slave bind record via
https://slaveIP:10000/bind8/view_text.cgi?index=NNN&view=
does show the line
TXT "v=spf1 a mx ~all"
<<<

so it would appear - as you said - that the SPF record *is* beign transferd
across to the slave

but Webmin *is not* showing it in the Bind module
