Adding the Netset mail server to your Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is important to ensure that legitimate email messages sent from Netset on your behalf are properly authenticated and not marked as spam by email receivers.
SPF is a DNS record that specifies which email servers are authorised to send email on behalf of your domain. By including Netset’s mail server in your SPF record, you enhance your email deliverability and reduce the chances of your emails being marked as suspicious or rejected by recipient mail servers.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to add `mailoutspf.cygrids.net` to your SPF record:
Make sure you have access to your domain's DNS settings, which are typically managed through your domain registrar or hosting provider.
1. Locate your current SPF record, which might resemble the following:
v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all |
2. To add the Netset mail server modify your SPF record by including the SPF information provided by Netset: mailoutspf.cygrids.net
3. Update your SPF record to incorporate `mailoutspf.cygrids.net`. Your updated SPF record may look like this:
v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com include:mailoutspf.cygrids.net ~all |
In this example, we added `include:mailoutspf.cygrids.net` to authorise Netset’s`mailoutspf.cygrids.net` server for sending emails on your behalf.
4. Save your changes. The process for saving changes can vary based on your DNS management interface. It might involve clicking "Save" or "Update."
`mailoutspf.cygrids.net`. Tools like "MXToolbox" or "Kitterman SPF Record Testing" can help you verify the changes.
Remember that maintaining an accurate SPF record is vital for email security and deliverability. Additionally, consider implementing DKIM and DMARC records for enhanced email authentication and security.
