SPF Records are designed to authenticate your email is not SPAM.


You set up an SPF record with the people who host your DNS.

This could be your Domain host but it could be someone else.


Most errors in emailing are resolving by updating the SPF record with your DNS host.


USING OUR MANAGED SERVER SERVICES

If you use our Managed Server Services, your DNS must be set up with a TXT record such as:


SINGLE DOMAIN           v=spf1 a include:_mailservers.vpscity.co.nz ~all

MULTIPLE DOMAINS     v=spf1 include:_mailservers.vpscity.co.nz include:otherdomain.com ~all


else your emails may be bounced.


The probability is that you already have an SPF record loaded into your DNS so you will need to use the Multiple Domains syntax.
