What is SPF?
SPF Records (Sender Permitted From or Sender Policy Framework) are entries that specify which mail servers are allowed to send e-mails from your domain. Thus, SPF prevents the circulation of e-mails that have your sender address but are not send by you.
Providers that support these entries are able to detect this common type of spam e-mails and treat them accordingly.
A typical SPF record for the domain example.com would be the following:
"v=spf1 a:mail.example.com -all“.
Configure SPF record
- In order to configure a SPF record, go to Domains - My domains and click on the domain to be configured.
- Scroll down to the DNS zone settings.
- Click on the Edit button at the right and in the TXT section enter your SPF record as a TXT record.
- When finished, click Save.
