Installing SPF Record on cpanel server

for information about SPF you may see at http://www.openspf.org/Project_Overview

and to install it very easy
1. login using root to WHM
2. click on zone templates under dns
3. there’ll be 3 option, just choose 1 first
4. add this at the end of line

%domain%. IN TXT “v=spf1 a mx -all”

and repeat for those 2 others templates.

by editing this, you will find every new account you create has a spf record automatically.

then how about my current domain ?
good question!
now we’re going to that step.

login to ssh using root and follow instruction bellow
1. nano add.spf
2. put this code and save it

for i in `ls /var/cpanel/users` ;do /usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer $i ;done

3. chmod 755 add.spf
4. ./add.spf

done!
by doing this all the account’s zone should be updated using spf record.

If you have nothing to do and want to do this 1 by 1 account, simply using code bellow.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer USERNAME

replace USERNAME with the username you want to add the SPF record.
