Add SPF to email provided with webhosting.

[wickedshell]

I'm experiencing a painfully large portion of the emails I send ending up in junk mail, and it has been suggested that adding SPF would help decrease this. I've found the SPF rules I think I need, but I'm not sure how to apply the rules.

Is there a way to configure this for the webmail provided by NFO?

Yes. What you'll want to do is to use an SPF generator to create the appropriate TXT field for your domain, and then enter it (under the expanded options for the "@" subdomain).

One generator is here: http://www.spfwizard.net/

The webmail is at 208.146.35.1 / 208.146.35.2, so make sure to enter those in as allowed to send email. You might end up with something like this:

Code: Select all

v=spf1 mx ip4:208.146.35.2 ip4:208.146.35.1 ~all

It also might help for you to use a regular desktop email client (such as Thunderbird) and connect to the main email server here directly. Other mail servers might consider email sent through that server to be less likely to be spam.
