What is SPF Spam Protection?
An SPF record specifies which mail servers are allowed to send emails on behalf of your domain. This improves deliverability and reduces the risk that emails from your domain are classified as spam or forgery.

Extend SPF Record

Example for an additional mail server:
v=spf1 include:mailserver.example.com -all
Example for an additional mail server and an additional IP address:
v=spf1 include:mailserver.example.com ip4:77.244.243.83/32 -all
Always add new servers or IP addresses to the existing SPF record. Do not create a second SPF record.
To create or check an SPF record, you can use external tools, for example SPF-Record by nicmanager.
