Creating a SPF Record

 

Create an SPF record

1. Log in to the control panel for your domain DNS host.

2. Create a TXT record with the following specifications.

   Type	Hostname	Destination	TTL
   TXT	@	v=spf1 include:emailsrvr.com ~all	3600

3. Decide how you want to enforce SPF failures.

   • ~all will result in a soft fail (Not authorized, but not explicitly unauthorized).
   • -all will result in a hard fail (Unauthorized).
   • ?all is neutral (As if there is no policy at all).

   Enter your choice after v=spf1 include:emailsrvr.com, and then save your changes.

4. Authorize additional mail servers by adding their IP or server name after include:.

   • For example:

   Type	Hostname	Destination	TTL
   TXT	@	v=spf1 include:emailsrvr.com include:othermailer.com ~all	3600

5. Save your changes.
