SPF Record Generator
Build a simple SPF record with ip4, ip6, include, and final policy.
Before publishing
A domain should publish only one SPF record. Also check the ten DNS-lookup limit before moving to a strict -all policy.
Use the result with confidence
Recommended workflow
- Use a non-sensitive representative input for building an SPF record.
- Run the operation and review the result before copying or exporting it.
- Validate the output in the target application or environment before relying on it.
What to verify
- Confirm the scope, units and input values before interpreting the output.
- Separate the observed result from the operational decision that follows from it.
- Validate the conclusion against the real target system, logs or configuration before changing production.
Questions about this tool
Can I publish the generated record as-is?
Review the sending domains, selectors, include mechanisms and policy level first. A syntactically valid record can still be wrong for your mail flow.
How do I validate the DNS record after publishing it?
Wait for DNS propagation, query the exact TXT name and verify that only the intended effective policy is returned.
Can a wrong record interrupt mail delivery?
Yes. SPF, DKIM and especially DMARC policy changes can affect authentication and delivery, so deploy progressively and monitor reports.
