Configuring the SPF Record

By using these SPF qualifiers in the SPF record, you can define the action for emails sent from unauthorized sources.

• Fail (-all): Rejects the email (Recommended).

• SoftFail (~all): Flags the email as a SoftFail and may be rejected.

• Allow (+all): Allows the email.

  Important:

  Avanan recommends avoiding this qualifier, as it allows any IP address to send emails on behalf of your domain.

• None: It defines no specific action.

  Note:

  Ensure that your domain has a default SPF policy.
