Using DNS SPF records for Internet domains
Create Domain Name Service (DNS) Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records to identify all of the Internet domains you use in SmartCloud Notes® Internet addresses. These SPF records should specify that the SmartCloud Notes servers are permitted to send email on behalf of all of your domains.
About this task
Typically your Domain hosting service allows you to create an SPF record and will provide instructions. In some cases, for example, there might be a wizard that walks you through the process. There are many mechanisms for identifying the set of servers that are permitted to send mail. The examples provided show how to use the include mechanism in SPF records to identify the SmartCloud Notes servers.
Data Center | Statement |
---|---|
North American | include:_spf.notes.na.collabserv.com |
Asia Pacific | include:_spf.notes.ap.collabserv.com |
European | include:_spf.notes.ce.collabserv.com |
Additionally, if there are multiple servers that send mail on behalf of your domain, it is important to include all of the servers in the definition.
v=spf1 mx include:_spf.notes.na.collabserv.com ~all
Your Domain hosting service is a good source of additional information about SPF records and the syntax to use. For additional information about other mechanisms, see your Domain hosting service website or the Sender Policy Framework website at http://www.openspf.org/.
