How do I setup a SPF record for my domain name?

Information and DNS SPF records and openspf

It is important to note that an DNS SPF can damage your email communication if setup improperly.

However, it will enhance it greatly when setup correctly.

An SPF record tells other servers receiving your emails which server is allowed to send emails on your behalf.

When setup improperly: for example, if you send emails from a mail server or ip address that has not been defined in the SPF entry, many receiving servers will believe that your email is SPAM and may automatically reject your emails.

When setup correctly: for example, if you send emails from a mail server or ip address that has been defined in the SPF entry, most receiving servers will “whitelist” or decrease the likeliness of your emails being tagged as spam at the receiver’s mail server.

To setup an SPF entry, please submit a request to our support team by email .

When sending us the email, please tell us what servers and ip addresses are used to send emails on your behalf. For example, at the present time, Zenutech has the following IPs sending emails on your behalf: 72.10.165.0/24, 67.215.14.0/24 and 67.215.15.0/24.
If you send your emails using your ISP for the SMTP server, please also write this in your request, including the SMTP server that you use. This will help to ensure that we create a “correct” SPF entry for you.
