Ovh mail spf

OVH Mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a security protocol that helps prevent spam and phishing emails by verifying the authenticity of the sender's domain.

Here's how it works:

  1. SPF records: OVH Mail requires you to set up a specific type of DNS record called a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record. This record lists the IP addresses that are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain.
  2. Authentication: When an email is sent from your domain, the receiving mail server checks the SPF record to verify that the IP address of the sending server is included in the list of authorized IP addresses.
  3. Verification: If the IP address is authorized, the receiving mail server trusts the email and delivers it to the recipient's inbox. If the IP address is not authorized, the email is flagged as spam or rejected.

Benefits of OVH Mail SPF:

  1. Improved deliverability: By setting up SPF, you can improve the deliverability of your emails and reduce the likelihood of them being flagged as spam.
  2. Protection against spoofing: SPF helps prevent email spoofing, where an attacker sends an email that appears to come from your domain but is actually sent from a different IP address.
  3. Enhanced security: SPF adds an extra layer of security to your email infrastructure, making it more difficult for attackers to send malicious emails that appear to come from your domain.

To set up OVH Mail SPF, you'll need to:

  1. Log in to your OVH Mail control panel.
  2. Go to the "Settings" section and click on "Domain settings".
  3. Scroll down to the "SPF" section and click on "Edit".
  4. Enter the IP addresses of the servers that are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain.
  5. Save the changes.

Note: You may need to consult with your IT department or a DNS expert if you're not familiar with setting up SPF records.
