What Does PowerDMARC’s SPF Record Generator Do?

SPF Record Formatting Explained

The typical SPF record format is as follows:

v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all

Info Info

Protocol version

The format of an SPF record begins with the protocol version, which is always v=spf1.

Info Info

Authorized senders

Next comes the list of authorized senders. This can be denoted by the “include” mechanism if a domain owner wants to delegate his domain’s SPF policy to another domain. Alternatively, the sender can specify IPv4 and IPv6 ranges to authorize sending servers.

Info Info

Failure mechanism

The “all” tag refers to the SPF failure mechanism which can be hardfail, softfail, or neutral depending on the qualifier set before it (+, -, ~, ?).

How to Publish Your Generated SPF Record

  • Log in to Your DNS Provider: Access the DNS management console of your domain registrar or hosting provider.

  • Locate the DNS Settings: Find the section for managing DNS records (often labeled “DNS Management,” “Zone Editor,” or “Advanced DNS”).

  • Add a New TXT Record: Select the option to create a new TXT record.

  • Enter the SPF Record: In the “Host” field, enter your domain (e.g., @ for the root domain). In the “Value” field, paste the generated SPF record.

  • Set TTL (Optional): Specify a Time-To-Live (TTL) value (default values like 3600 seconds work fine).

  • Save the Changes: Click “Save” or “Apply” to publish the record.

  • Verify the SPF Record: Use an SPF record checker to confirm that the record is correctly published.
