What is SPF? Sender Policy Framework helps prevent email spam by identifying the mail server responsible for sending out emails on behalf of your domain. This header field is added to emails sent by authenticated SMTP servers. Enabling this option on your public MX will help make your domain more secure and prevent abuse through spam and malicious emails.
Creating SPF record for Send13
Here are the steps to set up SPF for Send13 :
- 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 Send13 will have the following syntax:
mydomain.com TXT v=spf1 include:mta01.send13.com -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 Send13. If you do have an existing SPF record in your DNS, you need to modify it to include Send13, as shown below:
Previous SPF record: v=spf1 mx -all
Modified SPF record: v=spf1 mx include:mta01.send13.com -all
- Save changes
- Wait for 72 hours to allow your DNS to process the changes
