Question
- How to change the SPF record for a domain in Plesk?
Answer
By default, Plesk has the following SPF record preconfigured for domains:
CONFIG_TEXT: example.com TXT v=spf1 +a +mx +a:server.example.com -all
The parts of this record mean the following:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
v=spf1 |
The domain uses SPF of the version 1. |
+a |
All the hosts from the “A” records are authorized to send mail. |
+mx |
All the hosts from the “MX” records are authorized to send mail. |
+a:server.example.com |
The domain server.example.com is authorized to send mail. Mind that the hostname should be resolvable. |
-all |
All other domains are not authorized to send mail. |
If it is necessary to adjust the record, you may do so by using the steps in the following article:

You can find more information about the syntax of SPF DNS records

The exact policy notation is available on the following link:

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't understand...
You write:
+a:server.example.com
it is mandatory to write the word 'server' (do i need to create a 'server' subdomain?)
or simply
+a:example.com
Thanks for the answer
