How do I customize my SPF record in cPanel?

A Sender-Policy-Framework, or SPF Record is important to ensure email is delivered and not rejected by receiver's email server. A SPF Record lists what servers are authorized to send on your domain's behalf. By default, we configure your SPF Record to send via Chillidog Hosting. If you use a 3rd party for email, you'll need to contact them for the correct entries to add to your SPF Record. To prevent breaking existing email, we do not recommend removing the existing record generated automatically for you. Instead, we recommend that you simply add additional providers to your approval list.

You can test your SPF Record using various online tools such as MXToolbox.

1. Log into your cPanel.

To begin, log into your cPanel. When you signed up, your cPanel username and password was sent to you in your New Account Info email.

Can't find your New Account Info email? Let us know and we'll be happy to re-send it to you.

2. Email Deliverability.

Find the Email Deliverability section of cPanel. The Email Deliverability section provides a simple and easy to use 'wizard' to customze your SPF Record.

3. Click Manage.

Find the Manage button next to the domain you'd like to manage.

Ignore the warning messages in these screenshots. These are due to using a test domain.

4. Click Customize.

Find the Customize button next to the SPF Record you'd like to update.

5. Enter your customization.

Add your custom +a, +mx or +include as directed by your 3rd party email provider.

If you'd like to customize your raw SPF Record, you can manage it directly via the Zone Editor!

6. Click Install.

Click the Install button when finished.
