How to Alter SPF Record in DNS MailerLite
Managing your SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is crucial for ensuring that your emails are delivered successfully and not marked as spam. SPF is a DNS-based authentication method designed to prevent email spoofing. If you are using MailerLite as your email marketing platform, you might need to alter your SPF record to include MailerLite’s servers. In this article, we will guide you through the process of how to alter your SPF record in DNS MailerLite.
Before you begin, make sure you have access to your DNS settings. You will need to log in to your domain registrar’s website or use a DNS management tool provided by your hosting provider. Here are the steps to alter your SPF record in DNS MailerLite:
- Log in to your MailerLite account: Navigate to the MailerLite website and log in using your credentials.
- Go to the settings: Once logged in, click on the gear icon in the top-right corner to access the settings menu.
- Select the ‘Sending Domain’ option: In the settings menu, choose ‘Sending Domain’ to view your current SPF record.
- Locate the SPF record: Look for the SPF record under the ‘Sending Domain’ section. It should look something like this: “v=spf1 include:spf.mailerlite.com ~all”.
- Copy the SPF record: Copy the entire SPF record provided by MailerLite.
- Log in to your DNS management tool: Access your domain registrar’s website or use your DNS management tool to edit your DNS settings.
