An SPF record can save your domain from spam and phishing by allowing you to keep a record of your authorized sources. WorldAPP highly recommends their customers set up SPF for their respective domains. Here’s how you do it:
Creating SPF record for WorldAPP
Here are the steps to set up SPF for WorldAPP :
- Login to your WorldAPP account and navigate to security settings.
- Find the registered email domains section and click add email domain button.
- Type your domain name
- Form system will generate the SPF record that will have the following syntax:
mydomain.com TXT v=spf1 include:wappmail.com -all
- Publish this record in your DNS records section for your respective domain.

Previous SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.domain.com -all
