Vanessa posted a full article on her site explaining what email spoofing is and how to generate an SPF record. This post will simply explain how to install your SPF record using WebHost Manager.

A general SPF record looks like this:

"v=spf1 a mx ~all"

In WHM, go to ‘Edit DNS Zone’ and click the domain that you wish to add the SPF to. Once you open the zone editor, go down the the bottom where you will see several blank spaces to add custom records. In the first box, you will put the domain name followed by a period:

domain.com

The second box will be the TTL, which can remain the same. The third box will be a drop down of record types. For an SPF record, you would use ‘TXT”.

The third box will be where you actually paste the SPF record, enclosed in quotes with no period at the end.

“v=spf1 a mx ~all”

Once you’ve installed this, save your changes and verify via the dig command that the changes were successful:

dig @nameserver domain.com TXT
