How to Use the SPF Lookup Tool to Verify Your SPF Record

What is SPF?

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) tells receiving mail servers which servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. Without a correct SPF record, your emails may land in spam.

The Correct SPF Record for Mailbux

TypeHost/NameValue
TXT@ (or your domain)v=spf1 include:msg25.com ~all

If you already have an SPF record from another service, add include:msg25.com before the ~all or -all part. Example: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:msg25.com ~all

How to Check Your SPF Record

  1. Go to SPF Lookup Tool
  2. Enter your domain name
  3. Click Lookup
  4. Look for include:msg25.com in the results

What Good Results Look Like

You should see your SPF record containing include:msg25.com. If it says "No SPF record found" or msg25.com is not included, follow the fix below.

How to Fix Your SPF Record

  1. Log into your DNS provider
  2. Find existing TXT records for your domain
  3. If no SPF record exists, create one: v=spf1 include:msg25.com ~all
  4. If an SPF record exists, add include:msg25.com before ~all
  5. Important: You can only have ONE SPF record per domain. Do not create a second one — merge them.
  6. Save and verify with SPF Lookup
