Enable DKIM or SPF email authentication settings
The DNS Settings section allows you to enable the new account's DKIM and SPF records. You can also configure which nameservers the new account’s domain will use.
Enable DKIM or SPF email authentication settings
To enable DKIM and SPF email authentication on this account, select the checkboxes that correspond to those settings.
- SPF uses a default record of
v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:$mainip, where$mainiprepresents your IPv4 address. If you add a custom SPF record to the appropriate DNS zone template, it overrides the Enable SPF on this account setting.
- For more information on SPF records, visit the OpenSPF website.
- If the account's owner enables SPF, the system rewrites this record when you use WHM's Assign IPv6 Address interface (WHM >> Home >> IP Functions >> Assign IPv6 Address) to assign an IPv6 address to the account.
- The settings in the Create a New Account interface (Home >> Accounts >> Create a New Account) override the server-wide DKIM and SPF settings that you set in WHM's Tweak Settings interface (WHM >> Home >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings).
