What is SPF?

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication method that helps prevent spoofing by specifying which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain.

Common SPF mechanisms:

  • include: - Authorize another domain's servers
  • a - Authorize your domain's A record IPs
  • mx - Authorize your MX servers
  • ip4/ip6 - Authorize specific IP addresses
  • -all - Reject unauthorized senders (recommended)

About this tool

SPF is one of three critical email authentication methods that inbox providers use to verify your legitimacy. Configure SPF first, then add DKIM records and finalize with a DMARC policy for complete protection. If you're having delivery issues, check your records using our DNS propagation checker to ensure changes have spread globally. Proper authentication protects your sender reputation and helps you avoid the blacklist.
