SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication protocol that helps prevent unauthorized senders from forging emails on behalf of your domain.
This guide outlines how to enable SPF for domains hosted using Afrihost’s cPanel interface.
Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:spf1 ip4:154.0.172.180 ~all’ and follow the steps here.
To authorize Afrihost to send emails on your domain’s behalf:
Example of an updated SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:another.net include:spf1 ip4:154.0.172.180 ~all |
Example of a new SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:spf1 ip4:154.0.172.180 ~all |
Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
For detailed instructions on how to update your SPF record through Sendmarc, refer to the Sendmarc SPF Setup Documentation.
