SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication method that helps prevent spammers from sending email on behalf of your domain. By publishing an SPF record, you allow only authorized servers to send emails for your domain—protecting your reputation and improving deliverability.
Xneelo (previously Hetzner South Africa) is a web hosting and email service provider that offers built-in support for SPF through its mail infrastructure.
This guide will walk you through the steps to configure SPF for your domain when using xneelo as your email host.
Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:spf.host-h.net’ and follow the steps here.
To authorize Xneelo 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:spf.host-h.net ~all |
Example of a new SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:spf.host-h.net ~all |
Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
