Email SPF Record Tutorial – Sender Policy Framework (SPF) | Prevent Email Spoofing | DNS Course

Welcome back,

In this tutorial, were going to cover what SPF records are, why you need them and how to create them. If you own a domain, its crucial that you set up your SPF record correctly to prevent Email Spoofing or Email Fraud. If you don’t have an SPF record set up, anyone can send email on your domain behalf. This can get your domain blacklisted for spam even if you are not sending mail.

This is a DNS course, so you should be comfortable adding DNS records to your Domain such as TXT records. Before we get started, don’t forget to subscribe to our channel to stay up to date with our latest training videos.

Hi Emad, Among all the videos I saw to understand SPF I found this one the best.
However, I still find it difficult to configure SPF for one of my domain. The reason is I have team members located at different locations and are working from home. They use Outlook, Thunderbird etc as email clients. They access internet using broadband connection. That means I have to configure their IP address in my SPF record but since IP address is dynamically allocated at the time of connection this may not work. Could you suggest the solution. Thanks
