SPF is an extension to Internet e-mail. It prevents unauthorized people from forging your e-mail address and/or those of your employees. There is no central institution that enforces SPF, but the SPF Project is a great source of information about it. For SPF to work properly, your company’s email server will need a line or two of code added or modified. Otherwise, receiving ISPs may mistake you and your other Voodoo users for unauthorized senders. To learn more about SPF see our QuickTip Blog post, The Quest for Email Deliverability: Sender ID and Sender Policy Framework (SPF).
SenderID and SPF may cause YOUR email, sent from Voodoo servers, to be rejected. This is why it is critical that your IT experts set up your mail (DNS) servers to authorize Voodoo’s mail server today.
If your domain is hosted with GoDaddy, below are instructions on how to install an SPF file.
Log into GoDaddy and access the domain you wish to add the SPF record to.
Access DNS manger. If you have an existing SPF record for Voodoo you will want to delete it (in TXT section) using red X icon to right.
Add a New SPF record by following these steps:
1) Scroll down to TXT (Text) Section
2) Click Quick Add (don’t use the Add SPF Record link)
3) In the Host field, enter the @ symbol only. In the TXT Value field, enter: v=spf1 a mx include:server1.voodooviral.com include:server2.voodoovideomarketing.com ~all
[Note: Your SPF records may include other ip4 addresses, etc. Leave all other TXT elements in place.]
4) Click Save Zone File
5) Any DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to reflect on the internet.
6) Send a test email
