Setting up SPF
SPF records are TXT records placed into a domain's DNS settings. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a way to restrict which mail servers are allowed to send email for your domain name.
Create a TXT record for the outgoing sending domain with the following details:
"v=spf1 include:spf.antispamcloud.com -all"
If you already have an existing SPF, simply add include:spf.antispamcloud.com to your existing record.
Change the MX records the Mail Exchanger in cPanel is set to Local Mail Exchanger.
