Can't modify an existing SPF record

The SPF record type was deprecated in 2014 and the SPF definition string
*must* now be contained as data in a TXT record.
BIND will still load a zone containing SPF records, but it will check
whether a TXT record also exists that contains the same string and will
generate a log message telling you if it doesn't find one.

>From a quick glance at the webmin manual it *should* allow you to put
anything you like in a TXT record.
@Roberto Carna <robertocarna36 at gmail.com>  your SPF record currently looks
like this:

company.com. 971 IN TXT "v=spf1 mx ip4:[corpIP] include:mktomail.com ~all"


The ip4:[corpIP] will not work. [] are not valid characters in the SPF
specification and in any case ip4: must be followed by a literal dotted
decimal IPv4 address.
