• Select My Account. From the menu and select Domains

• Expand Domains and select Manage DNS for the domain you want to verif

• In the DNS for your domain, navigate to the Records section and click on Add. Add your SPF record according to the specifications recommended below:  

TXT record specifications: 

Type: TXT

Host: @ 

Value: v=spf1 include:mailcontrol.com ~all

Note: Choose an SPF failure mode that works for you and modify your record accordingly.

~all results in a soft fail (not authorized, but not explicitly unauthorized); -all results in a hard fail (unauthorized); ?all is neutral (similar to no policy)
