Question
How to create/modify SPF record for a domain in Plesk?
Answer
By default, Plesk has the following SPF record preconfigured out-of-the-box:
example.com TXT v=spf1 +a +mx +a:server.example.com -all
The parts of this record mean the following:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
v=spf1 |
The domain uses SPF of the version 1. |
+a |
All the hosts from the “A” records are authorized to send mail. |
+mx |
All the hosts from the “MX” records are authorized to send mail. |
+a:server.example.com |
The domain server.example.com is authorized to send mail. Mind that the hostname should be resolvable. |
-all |
All other domains are not authorized to send mail. |
If it is necessary to modify the record, use the steps below:
-
Go to Domains > example.com > DNS Settings.
-
Click on the domain's name in the record and modify the record as required:
