The SPF mechanism was explained in article about spf and dkim protection<\/a>. In this guide we will show you how to add a new SPF record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding SPF through”Email Deliverability”<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. First, navigate to “Email Deliverability”<\/strong> in cPanel.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once there, click the “Manage”<\/strong> button on the bar corresponding to the domain in question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Next, go to the SPF section and click “Customize.”<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. At the bottom of the settings, you\u2019ll find the option Include List (INCLUDE)<\/strong> \u2013 click “Add A New ‘+include’ Item<\/strong>“. Next, enter the record you want to add. For demonstration purposes, we use a Google record. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If You want to add IP address instead, look for Additional IP Address Blocks (IPv4)<\/strong> section. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Now head to the bottom of the page, You will see a preview of customized SPF record. To submit changes, click “Install a customized SPF record”<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n\n\n

Changing ~all parameter to -all<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To change the parameter from ~all to -all or vice versa, go to the SPF section just like when adding a new record. However, in this case, simply select the option shown in the image below. Submit changes by clicking \u201eInstall a customized SPF record<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After completing these steps, the ~all<\/strong> parameter has been changed to -all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Modifying the SPF Record in Zone Editor<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. To directly edit the SPF record, go to “Zone Editor”,<\/strong> then click “Manage<\/strong>” next to the selected domain.<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

2. Now look for TXT <\/strong>type record with SPF <\/strong>values. Click “Edit<\/strong>“.<\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Now you can manually modify the SPF record. For example, to add authorization for Microsoft Outlook, we can add the fragment: include:spf.protection.outlook.com<\/strong> \u2013 additional entries should be placed between v=spf1 +a +mx<\/strong> and -all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also add an SPF record (if it does not exist) using the Zone Editor by creating a new TXT record with the appropriate value. However, it is important to remember that a domain can have only one SPF record<\/strong>. Any new rules should be added to the existing record. If a domain has two separate SPF records, recipients servers will treat mailing from your domain as unauthorized, and messages may either not be delivered or end up in the spam folder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
