DNS Deployment Instructions
Follow these steps to deploy your SPF record:
- Log in to your DNS provider (domain registrar or DNS hosting service)
- Navigate to your domain's DNS records page
- Look for existing SPF record (TXT record containing "v=spf1")
- If SPF exists: REPLACE it (don't add a second one!)
- If no SPF exists: Create new TXT record
- Add TXT record:
- Host/Name: @ (or leave blank for root domain)
- Type: TXT
- Value: v=spf1 -all
- TTL: 3600 (1 hour)
- Save the record
- Wait 1-24 hours for DNS propagation
- Verify with DNS lookup tools (e.g., MXToolbox, Google Admin Toolbox)
IMPORTANT: Only one SPF record per domain! Multiple SPF records will cause validation failures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the SPF Record Generator
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS TXT record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. Without SPF, anyone can spoof your domain in phishing attacks. SPF helps receiving servers verify that incoming mail actually came from your authorized servers.
