SPF question

[rligg]

I need to change the ip of my mail server. Does this mean I need to change the ip address of all spf records to match the changed ip as well? Thanks.

Hi rligg,

Maybe a bit out of subject, but to ease this kind of thing, we created a spf.example.net record here and then we added "v=spf1 a mx include:spf.example.net ~all" in our cPanel's zone template.

This saves us the issue of maintaining SPF records when we migrate customers from one server to another

Hope this helps (in the future at least)!

If you will use cpanel function for IP changing / moving it will automatically rewrite all instances of old IP.

Hello

You should use the IP Migration Wizard when changing the IP address to ensure the accounts and their DNS Zones are updated:

"WHM Home >> IP Function >> IP Migration Wizard"

Thank you.
