How to Edit Your SPF Record

This section shows how you can manage your SPF record through verified sources. To use this feature of Delivery Center, click the SPF header on the left navigation menu, then select the Configure SPF option.

If your record is hosted by MxToolbox, several features are available for you to access. You can enable the automated options below, which will automatically keep your record up-to-date. If you want to manually change your record, you can use the "Editor" option at the upper right of the box.

There are three automated options provided in this section:

• Use MxToolbox Recommendation: You want MxToolbox to keep your SPF record consistent with your verified sources.
• Auto Add Suggested Sources: You want any/all suggestions from your SPF record to be automatically accepted.
• Auto Remove Sources with no Data: You want sources that have no data after 30 days to be removed from your verified sources, which also deletes them from your SPF record.

Note: You must configure verified sources to enable SPF recommendations, so be sure to complete this process if you want to update your record. If applicable, click the Verified Sources hyperlink in the provided pink box to get started.

MxToolbox has found over the years that many SPF records contain information that is unnecessary, out of date, or just plain wrong, so we will generate an SPF record for you based on your Verified Sources. The SPF recommendation will ensure you are secure by not including extra sources, do not have errors in your record, and are not missing a verified source.

We run the recommended record through a check to ensure there are no errors, so your email is not interrupted by a bad record. In addition, we also run a check on your current record to make sure there are no errors. You can use the "Inspect" button to get more details on your record.
