Create SPF record
Dynu gives you full control over all the DNS configurations for your domain names.
You can log onto the control panel to manage your DNS records.
An SPF record is a type of DNS record that identifies which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain. The original specifications for SPF required storage of SPF information for domains within TXT type records. Later specifications created the SPF type record. Currently, there are no SPF implementation that will not use TXT type records if they are present, so SPF type records are not required. There are, however, many SPF implementations that will not use SPF type records, so TXT records remain required. It is suggested that both SPF and TXT records be used, although either by itself was acceptable. So it is a good idea to have identical SPF information for a domain under both a TXT type record and an SPF type record.
To add an SPF record in the SPF type record, you may follow these 3 steps.
Step 2
Go to
DNS Records
to add an SPF Record.
Node Name Enter the subdomain name, for example, subdomain1. Leave empty for primary domain name.
Type Choose "SPF-Sender Policy Framework".
TTL How long the server should cache the information.
Text Enter the SPF data. For example, "v=spf1 ip4:204.200.197.197 -all" . You may use SPF TXT Generator to generate SPF text.
Step 3
Check if your SPF record has gone into effect using DNS Lookup tool. Enter dynu.biz as Hostname, and choose "TXT-Text" as Type.
NOTE: It is advisable to publish an SPF record that uses ~all instead of -all as otherwise it may result in delivery problems.
