SPF Record In DirectAdmin

Sender Policy Framework or SPF provides security for email delivery with its authentication mechanism. By enabling domain owners to whitelist the IP addresses of servers that can send emails on their behalf, SPF helps them avoid spoofing. If a mail server with an IP address that isn’t on the list attempts to send email using that domain, SPF authentication will fail.

The steps to create an SPF record on DirectAdmin are as follows:

1. Log into the account with DirectAdmin.

2. To edit the domain name, click on it.

3. Navigate to the DNS manager by clicking on the DNS Management link.

4. Locate the Add Domains Records section by swiping it down.

5. Enter the SPF record and domain name or subdomain in the TXT line.

6. Remember to finish off the domain name with a dot (.).

7. Add the SPF record here, for example, “v=spf1 include:_spf.smtp.com ~all”.

8. Select the “Add” option.

Some servers require a backslash (\) before every space; otherwise, the SPF entry won’t function.
