Creating an SPF Record for Your Google Apps Domain Name

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records help prevent spammers from sending emails claiming to be from your email address.

Google Apps™ encourages using an SPF record to prevent recipients' email servers from potentially blocking your domain name.

To Create an SPF Record for Your Google Apps Domain Name

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. Click Domain Manager.
3. From the DNS tab, click DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.
4. In the Domain list, for the domain name you use with Google Apps' email, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.
5. Click Add New Record. The Add DNS Record window displays.
6. From the Record type list, select SPF (Sender Policy Framework).
7. For This domain sends mail through ... , select an ISP or other mail provider.
8. From the Outsourced tab, in the Enter Outsourced Domains (one per line) field, type _spf.google.com.
9. Click OK. Your new SPF record displays in the TXT (Text) section.
10. Click Save Zone File, and then click OK.

Your SPF record can take up to 48 hours to begin working.
