[epub] Re: Clarification please, SPF Explained

[Jeff Newton <jpnewton@xxxxxxx>]

The SPF record is a text record that you put in your DNS records.  If you 
run your own DNS it's a snap to add.  Sometimes your ISP will add it if you 
beg.
To make your own SPF record go to:  http://spf.pobox.com/

They explain the usage guidelines and the details on SPF records.

To see if you have a SPF record already check it at 
http://www.dnsreport.com/  , use the "DNS Report" box.  Near the bottom of 
your report, there will be a place that they check for SPF records.
