How To Set Up SPF On Google Workspace: Simple Guide
Setting up SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is essential to improve email deliverability and prevent email spoofing for your domain.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you set up SPF:
Step 1: Login to DNS Provider’s Control Panel
Log in to your domain registrar’s or DNS hosting provider’s control panel. This is where you’ll make changes to your DNS records.
Step 2: Go to DNS Settings
In your cpanel search for DNS Settings to Add ot Edit SPF Record
Step 3: Add or Edit SPF Record
- Look for a section to add or edit DNS records, often labeled “DNS Records,” “Add a Record,” or something similar.
- Select “TXT” or “Text” as the type of DNS record you want to add. SPF records are usually TXT records.
Step 4: Configure Your SPF Record
Enter these values on the page or form for your domain provider’s TXT records:
| Field name | Value to enter |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Host |
@ Note: If you’re adding a SPF record for a subdomain, enter the subdomain instead of @. |
| Value |
If you only send email from Google Workspace, enter this SPF record:
|
| TTL | 1 hour or 3600 seconds |
Step 5: SPF Propagation
DNS changes, including SPF records, may take some time to propagate across the internet. It can take a few hours to 48 hours for changes to take full effect. During this time, email servers will gradually recognize and enforce your SPF policy.
