# Correct SPF Records

Your service provider is now using SPAM Experts to send email from the hosting server on which your account is located. Correct Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records need to be configured in your DNS settings to ensure that Internet receivers will properly identify and receive your email. This article describes the DNS records you must add.

### DNS Records

The following records are needed for SPF to work correctly. Replace *example.com* with your own domain name:

| **Location** | **Type** | **Value**                                 |
| ------------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| example.com  | TXT      | v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:\<your-server-ip> -all |
|              |          |                                           |

If you already have an SPF record, leave it. Make sure to add it BEFORE the “all” mechanism as “all” always matches and typically goes at the end of the SPF record.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://kb.vimzaa.com/cpanel-hosting/cpanel-advanced/correct-spf-records.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
