POP Email: Default SPF Record

Answer ID: 9035


What is the default SPF record when using your POP/IMAP email?


SPF is a a type of TXT Record used for email verification, that verifies that the messages your domains send originated from a listed server. In addition, it provides a list of servers approved to send mail from your domains.


The default SPF record for our email on the domain account is:


v=spf1 include:_spf.emfwd.name-services.com MX ?all




Note: In addition to an SPF record for email security, additional email security records that can be added are DKIM and DMARC. To set these up on your domain account, see the HelpDesk article: Add DKIM & DMARC when using our DNS (Domain Account)
