As an expert web developer, I am here to provide a detailed guide on how to add an SPF record in GoDaddy. An SPF record is a TXT record published in the DNS on your domain, starting with v=spf1. It’s used to perform SPF checks on the receiving email to help ensure that the email is from the domain it claims to be sent from. With this guide, you’ll be able to add an SPF record in GoDaddy in no time.
What is an SPF record?
An SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is a type of Domain Name Service (DNS) record that identifies which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain. It enables the receiving mail server to check that incoming mail from a domain comes from an authorized server. By adding an SPF record to your domain’s DNS, you can help protect your domain from being used in email spoofing, phishing, and other abuses.
