SPF validates the origin of email messages, preventing messages from being sent on your domain's behalf by unauthorized senders. It provides rules for accepting and rejecting mail based on the origin of the message. To enable SPF, follow the steps below:
Here are the steps to publish SPF for Mancloud through your DNS:
- Login to your DNS management console
- Navigate to Tools & Settings > DNS Template
- You need to edit the DNS TXT record related to SPF
- An SPF TXT record for iContact will have the following syntax:
mydomain.com TXT v=spf1 include:_spf.mancloud.eu -all - Publish this record in your DNS records section for your respective domain.
Note: If you don’t have an SPF record previously for your domain, simply publish the above-mentioned record to enable SPF for outgoing emails using Mancloud. If you do have an existing SPF record in your DNS, you need to modify it to include Mancloud, as shown below:
Previous SPF record: v=spf1 mx -all
Modified SPF record: v=spf1 mx include:_spf.mancloud.eu -all
- Save changes
- Wait for 72 hours to allow your DNS to process the changes
Finally, you can look up your record using our SPF record lookup tool, and enable DMARC for your domains: take a DMARC trial.
