To resolve the SPF and MX record issues for your domain, follow these steps:
- Add an SPF Record The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is used to specify which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain.
SPF Record Value Example:
v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
Adjust the include: part depending on your email provider. For example:
Google Workspace: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all
Microsoft 365: v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
Custom Mail Server: Use your mail server's IP or domain.
Steps to Add SPF Record:
Log in to your DNS hosting provider.
Add a new DNS record:
Type: TXT
Host/Name: @ (or your domain name, e.g., rodarmour.com)
Value: The SPF record value provided above.
Save the record and wait for DNS propagation (can take a few hours).
- Add an MX Record MX (Mail Exchange) records specify the mail servers responsible for receiving emails for your domain.
MX Record Value Example: If you're using Google Workspace:
Priority: 1
Value: aspmx.l.google.com
Additional Google Workspace records:
Priority: 5 Value: alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
Priority: 5 Value: alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
Priority: 10 Value: alt3.aspmx.l.google.com
Priority: 10 Value: alt4.aspmx.l.google.com
If you're using Microsoft 365:
Priority: 0
Value: .mail.protection.outlook.com
For custom servers, consult your email service provider for the correct MX records.
Steps to Add MX Record:
Log in to your DNS hosting provider.
Add a new DNS record:
Type: MX
Host/Name: @ (or your domain name, e.g., rodarmour.com)
Value: MX server address (e.g., aspmx.l.google.com for Google or yourdomain.mail.protection.outlook.com for Microsoft 365).
Priority: Set as per the provider's recommendation (e.g., 1 or 0 for primary mail servers).
Save the record and wait for DNS propagation.
