What is SPF?

An SPF record tells receiving mail servers which email server your domain is authorised to send email from. Without an SPF record, there is a greater risk that someone could spoof your domain — making it appear as though an email came from your domain when it actually didn't.

To send via our email server, your SPF record should look like this:

v=spf1 a mx a:smtp2.smartemail.se a:smtp3.smartemail.se a:smtp4.smartemail.se mx:mail.smartemail.se -all

Many email providers now enforce SPF strictly and will mark messages as spam if it is not set up correctly.
