What is an SPF record?
An SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is a type of TXT record in your DNS zone file. SPF records help identify which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain. Adding an SPF record can help detect and prevent spammers from sending email messages with forged From addresses on your domain.
Spammers can falsify email headers to edit the From address so it looks like they're sending from an email address at your domain. This is referred to as spoofing, and allows them to phish your users for private account information, or otherwise abuse your reputation. This can result in the account owner receiving replies and bouncebacks for mail they never sent.
Adding an SPF record can decrease spoofing attempts to your domain, however, they're not a full-proof guarantee against all spam. SPF records help specify which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of your domain. Then, when incoming mail servers receive email messages from your domain name, they compare the SPF record to the outgoing mail server information. If the information doesn't match, they identify the email message as unauthorized, and will generally filter it as spam or reject it.
Note: In some cases, GoDaddy will create SPF records to work with our products, such as Microsoft 365. If you need help configuring SPF records for third party email or hosting, you'll need to contact your provider for those services.

Ni nini rekodi ya SPF? SPF (Sender Policy Framework) ni aina ya rekodi ya TXT katika faili yako ya eneo la DNS. Rekodi za SPF husaidia kutambua ni seva gani za barua ambazo zinaruhusiwa kutuma barua pepe kwa niaba ya kikoa chako. Kuongeza rekodi ya SPF inaweza kusaidia kugundua na kuzuia spammers kutoka kutuma ujumbe wa barua pepe na forged kutoka anwani kwenye kikoa chako. Spammers wanaweza kuharibu vichwa vya barua pepe ili kuhariri anwani ya kutoka ili ionekane kama wanatuma kutoka anwani ya barua pepe kwenye kikoa chako. Hii inajulikana kama spoofing, na inaruhusu wao phish watumiaji wako kwa habari ya akaunti binafsi, au vinginevyo kutumia vibaya sifa yako. Hii inaweza kusababisha mmiliki wa akaunti kupokea majibu na bouncebacks kwa barua ambayo hawajawahi kutuma. Kuongeza rekodi ya SPF inaweza kupunguza majaribio ya udanganyifu kwa kikoa chako, hata hivyo, sio dhamana kamili dhidi ya spam yote. Rekodi za SPF zinasaidia kuamua ni seva gani za barua pepe zinazoruhusiwa kutuma barua pepe kwa niaba ya kikoa chako. Wakati seva za barua zinazoingia zinapopokea barua pepe kutoka kwa jina lako la kikoa, zinalinganisha rekodi ya SPF na habari ya seva ya barua inayotoka. Ikiwa habari hailingani, wao kutambua ujumbe wa barua pepe kama unauthorized, na kwa ujumla kuchuja kama spam au kukataa. Kwa mfano, GoDaddy inaweza kuunda rekodi za SPF kwa ajili ya bidhaa zetu kama vile Microsoft 365 na Microsoft 365 Pro. Ikiwa unahitaji msaada wa kuanzisha rekodi za SPF kwa barua pepe au mwenyeji wa mtu wa tatu, utahitaji kuwasiliana na mtoa huduma wako kwa huduma hizo.
