Do you want to make sure that your emails arrive safely and do not end up in spam? Then it is essential to set up your SPF records correctly. At LinQhost we make this process easy for you.
What is an SPF Record?
SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework. It is an essential DNS record that specifies which servers are allowed to send emails on behalf of your domain name. Receiving mail servers check this record to determine whether an email is safe and not from an unauthorized source. This prevents problems such as spam or phishing via your domain.
Why use LinQhost's SPF Record?
At LinQhost you can use our up-to-date SPF records. These records contain all the IP addresses of our email servers. The big advantage? You don't have to worry about updates, because we keep the list up to date. This means less work for you and maximum reliability.
How do you set an SPF Record?
Setting up an SPF record with LinQhost is easy:
- Log in to the LinQhost Portal if the domain is in our DNS. In all other cases you need to do this with the party that manages your domain
- Add the following to the SPF TXT record: include:_spf.linqhost.nl
A complete example of an SPF record looks like this:
- v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.linqhost.nl ~all
New domains that you register through us will automatically receive this addition. This way you are immediately protected without any extra effort.
