Setting up SPF Records

If I was setting up a SPF record, I'd simply go to the cPanel interface, in the "Mail" section click on "Email Authentication" then click "Enable" under SPF. This screen will also allow you to customize your SPF entry without worrying about the proper syntax for the DNS entry.

 

David, there isn't a section called Email Authentication, and I don't see this option in the Exim Confuguration either. So, can you please tell us where this option is?

 

This option is in cPanel, not in WHM.

 

So, are you saying that I need to enable this for every account? Is there any way to enable this server wide? We have hundreds of accounts on multiple server,and I don't see it as an option to enable it in every user's cPanel.

 

You can build a shell script to run the following:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer <username>
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer <username>

Where <username> is the username of the user you wish to install SPF and/or Domain Keys for.

If you're looking for a sample shell script to automate this process for all users, an internet search for the following phrase will yield useful results: Installing domain keys on a cPanel Server script
