- What is SPF?
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that helps prevent email spoofing by specifying which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain. It is a crucial measure for ensuring the authenticity of email communication.
- Why is it important to check SPF?
Checking an SPF record ensures that your email configuration is correct and helps avoid delivery issues, such as your emails being marked as spam. It also strengthens your domain’s protection against phishing and spoofing attacks.
- What are the typical errors for SPF records?
Common SPF errors include exceeding the DNS lookup limit, missing or incorrect IP addresses, and syntax mistakes. These errors can weaken email deliverability and allow unwanted emails to bypass SPF checks.
- What other DNS records are there besides SPF records?
Besides SPF, DNS records include A, MX, TXT, CNAME, and DKIM records. Each type serves a specific purpose, such as connecting domain names to IP addresses, routing emails, and improving email security.
