How do I setup an SPF record in cPanel?

By Spiderz • October 4, 2023

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps protect your domain from spoofed emails. In cPanel, navigate to the “Email” section, select “Email Deliverability” and choose your domain. On the “Manage the Domain” page enable or modify your domain’s SPF.

A sample SPF record might look like this:

v=spf1 ip4:0.0.0.0 +a +mx ~all (normal)

or

v=spf1 ip4:0.0.0.0 +a +mx -all (strict)

To have your SPF record setup or updated, create a request and get in touch with support.

Important: In the above records, 0.0.0.0 is the IP address assigned to your server or domain.

Good to Know: Ensure you have only one SPF record in your DNS. Multiple SPF records can lead to delivery issues.
