SPF Management with MxToolbox

This initial section shows the status of the SPF record you currently use. All aspects of the record are visible. If the record is highlighted in green, your SPF record is in good standing. If you see red here, your record is invalid due to introduced errors or missing verified sources. In this case, action is required to correct your SPF record to ensure proper use.

The ability to have your SPF record flattened and/or hosted by MxToolbox is available on the far right of this section. You can click the blue "Inspect" button to see the current status of your record. If you want to either flatten your SPF record or have it hosted by MxToolbox, these options are provided at your discretion. Both are recommended.

By hosting your SPF record with MxToolbox, you are able to modify your record and add new senders to your SPF record without having to log in to your DNS host. Additionally, when errors occur, you can correct those issues without leaving your account.

If you have your SPF record hosted with MxToolbox, your hosted status is in bold and highlighted green. You can edit your record and enable features to help improve email delivery or solve problems.

If your record is not hosted with MxToolbox, the "Not Hosted" indicator is shown and grayed out. To have MxToolbox host your SPF record, click the orange "Setup SPF Hosting" button to begin the process of hosting your SPF record.
