SPF setup walkthroughs by provider

Pick the provider that hosts your DNS (Domain Name System) or sends your mail. Each page shows where the SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record goes in that provider's console and what to type in each box.

What the SPF record does

An SPF record is one TXT (Text) record at the root of your domain that lists the servers allowed to send mail as you. A receiving server compares the sending IP (Internet Protocol) address against it.

A domain may publish only one SPF record, and evaluating it may take at most ten DNS lookups. So when you add a new sending service, you add it to the record you already have.
