SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is another email authentication protocol that allows you to specify which IP addresses are authorized to send email messages on behalf of your domain. By publishing an SPF record in your DNS, you can prevent unauthorized senders from using your domain to send spam or phishing emails.
To set up SPF in cPanel, follow these steps:
- Log in to cPanel and go to the "Email" section.
- Click on "Authentication" and then select "SPF".
- Choose the domain that you want to set up SPF for.
- Choose the type of SPF record you want to create, which can be "v=spf1 a mx include:yourdomain.com ~all" for a basic SPF record, or a more complex record that includes specific IP addresses or domains.
- Save your SPF record and wait for it to propagate.
Once you have added the SPF record to your DNS, it may take up to 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect.
