- Sign in to your domain account at your domain host (not your Google Admin console).
- Go to the page for updating your domain's DNS records.
This page might be called something like DNS management, name server management, or advanced settings.
- Find your TXT records and check if your domain has an existing SPF record.
The SPF record starts with "v=spf1". - If your domain does not have an SPF record, add a TXT record with these values:
- Name/Host/Alias: @ (or don't enter anything)
Other DNS records for your domain might indicate the correct entry. - Time to Live (TTL): 3600 or leave the default.
- Value/Answer/Destination: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all
- Name/Host/Alias: @ (or don't enter anything)
- If your domain does have an existing SPF record, add the following to it:
include:_spf.google.com
Do not create another SPF record. - Save the record.
Your new SPF record takes effect within 48 hours.
