Setting up sender policy framework (SPF) emails
If you have set a ‘From’ email address in your ‘White label’ settings, it is advisable to setup an SPF in your DNS (Domain Name Service) as follows:
-
Login to your hosting provider and edit the DNS settings for the domain you have chosen to send email from.
-
Next, check if you have an existing SPF record in your TXT section.
-
If you don’t yet have an SPF record for that domain, you’ll want to add one. Create a
TXT
record and set the host name to@
. At a minimum, should have the following value:v=spf1 include:howuku.com ?all
-
If you already have a TXT record with SPF entries, you’ll only need to add Howuku’s servers by adding
include:howuku.com
inside the existing record. Your record would look like so:v=spf1 include:spf.other-website.com include:howuku.com ?all
-
-
At the end of your SPF record, make sure there is an
?all
,~all
, or-all
before the last operator. -
Once you save your DNS settings, go to your Settings > Company page. At the bottom, you can indicate the Sender’s name and Sender’s address.
