Clikit Media SPF Setup

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication method used to specify authorized mail servers for a domain, helping prevent email spoofing and phishing attacks. 

This article outlines how to configure SPF for Clikit Media, a South African email marketing provider offering solutions for businesses, agencies, and IT professionals across Africa. 

Clikit Media SPF Requirements

Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:spf.clikitmedia.com’ and follow the steps here.

To authorize Clikit Media to send emails on your domain’s behalf:

  1. Log in to your domain’s DNS dashboard.
  2. Go to the page where you can update the DNS settings on that domain.
  3. Check if a TXT record starting with v=spf1 already exists.
    • If it exists, modify the existing record to include Clikit Media (details in the table below).
    • If not, create a new TXT record.

Example of an updated SPF record:

HostTypeValue
@ or blankTXTv=spf1 include:another.net include:include:spf.clikitmedia.com ~all

Example of a new SPF record:

HostTypeValue
@ or blankTXTv=spf1 include:spf.clikitmedia.com ~all
  1. Save your changes in the DNS control panel.

Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
