<div align=justify>There are cases when mails sent from your [http://myidealhost.com/hosting.shtml hosting account] arrive to the spam folder of the recipient. In this we recommend you to set SPF record. SPF record (Sender Policy Framework record) is the DNS entry that allows the domain owners to specify the hosts which are permitted to send email on behalf of their domains. Follow these steps to set Spf record for your account:

'''1'''. Log into your '''cPanel => Mail => Email Authentication.

'''2'''. To enable SPF record click '''Enable''' under the '''SPF''' heading.

Also you are able to configure '''Advanced Settings''':

* '''Add hosts''' that send mail from the current domain. The additional hosts listed here will automatically be approved to send mail to the domain.

* '''Add MX servers''' to the current domain under the appropriate heading. All MX entries listed under this tab will be permitted to send mail to the current domain.

* '''Add IP addresses''' approved for sending mail. The main server IP will automatically be added to the list. Any additional IPs must be added in CIDR format. (Example: 127.0.0.1/32)

* '''The Include List''' allows additional hosts to be specified and included in the SPF settings.

* '''All Entry''', when checked, excludes domains not included in the lists defined above.
* '''Overwrite Existing Entries''' overwrites existing SPF entries when checked. 


'''Note: Any DNS change isn't immediate. Some time is needed for the DNS changes to propagate.'''</div>
