Add an spf record - 12/17/2007 16:00:34   
I ran a dns report and get a warning for spf record. How do I add an spf record?

WARNING MESSAGE
Your domain does not have an SPF record. This means that spammers can easily send out E-mail that looks like it came from your domain, which can make your domain look bad (if the recipient thinks you really sent it), and can cost you money (when people complain to you, rather than the spammer). You may want to add an SPF record ASAP, as 01 Oct 2004 was the target date for domains to have SPF records in place (Hotmail, for example, started checking SPF records on 01 Oct 2004).

Thank you!

Have you Google'd this yet? I don't want to disregard your question but it would probably be more efficient for both of us if you tried that first. There is quite a bit of info in that subject already and it usually is a DNS/provider specific feature in terms of how to implement it.

I read about it a little bit and wasn't quite sure what to do. I am going to ask my contact if they can do it for me and show me for future reference.

If you can edit / update your DNS records, you should be able to add one. It is a text record basically. If you are on a Microsoft server check out Sender ID Framework SPF Record Wizard. If you are on a *NIX machine, check out Sender Policy Framework.
