You are sometimes required to create a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record with your domain name registrar to ensure that all your emails get delivered properly. An SPF record will ensure that emails sent from the specified domain are not marked as spam by any email clients. It can be done quickly, in a matter of minutes, by modifying your Domain Name System (DNS).
And here's how you do it:
- Go to your domain registrar's website.
- Login to the domain control panel.
- Open your DNS configuration settings.
- Edit your ZONE File and look for TXT or SPF record.
- Specify the following value: v=spf1 include:spf.redskymobility.com ~all .
- Save your changes.
But what if an SPF record already exists?
You can just include the SPF in the same line as your existing record
v=spf1 include:spf1.domain.com include:spf2.domain2.com include:spf.redskymobility.com ~all
It is very important that you use the right spf value to prevent any disruption to your email services. To ensure that your domain is setup correctly you can use tools like mxtoolbox.com (SPF Record Lookup).
Once the change is made, you should now be able to send emails from your domain through Redsky application email service without the email being blocked by spam filters.
