Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns here, cameronlesko.
This is certainly not the experience we want you to have. Rest assured that I'll pass along your suggestion to our Product Engineers. They're always looking for ideas from users on how to improve QBO.
With regards to adding an SPF TXT record, we have a separate online forum called Intuit Developer Community that caters this kind of concern. You'll get some helpful advice from experts on to about it. Here's the link: https://intuitdeveloper.lc.intuit.com/.
Please let me know if you have any other issues or concerns by leaving a comment in this thread. I'll be more than happy to assist. Take care and have a great weekend!
