Set up SPF with an external DNS provider


If you use an external provider to manage your DNS, you can use the following information to set up SPF.

Note that it may require some technical insight to set up or update DNS records. If in doubt, you should ask your DNS provider for help.

The following must be added to the SPF record for your domain:

spf.ideal.shop

If your SPF record already looks like this: v=spf1 include:spf.simply.com ~all

Then it should be updated to: v=spf1 include:spf.simply.com include:spf.ideal.shop ~all

If you do NOT have an SPF record on your domain already, you can create a new record with the following value: v=spf1 include:spf.ideal.shop ~all

Note that the above only authorises your website/webshop at ideal.shop to send email messages from your domain. You should therefore seek help from your email provider and ensure that the SPF record also "covers" their servers.
