Tommy, that’s a good reminder, but of course the essence of this article is handling this issue in bulk (with the consent of the clients on the box, as mentioned above).

A good SPF record will allow your clients to get email in to AOL and other places, so kudos to the author.

Just a reminder -using the x3 theme and looking under Email->Email Authentication, you can easily enable DomainKeys and SPF without all the trouble. I’ve spent about six hours on trying to get these set up and just found this option in CPanel!

I have changed mine to;

‘value’ => ‘v=spf1 a mx’ . $safekeys . ( $is_complete ? ‘-all’ : ‘?all’ )
‘value’ => ‘v=spf1 a mx’ . $safekeys . ( $is_complete ? ‘-all’ : ‘~all’ )

notice the ‘~’ in front of the last question mark, much better.

Unfortunately cpanel has yet to update any of these scripts even in 11.25, the issue is still there regarding the

domain => $domain,
record => $domain,

domain => $domain.”.”,
record => $domain.”.”,

which is correct. The bottom one is correct.

I added the line to the simple and standard zone templates but the record for spf is not added when creating new accounts with WHM Anyone else having this issue or is there something else I’m to do? Reboot or something ?
