Setting Domain A Record and SPF Record.
The information below should be considered when a new domain name is being set up on the server:
- Update the @ zone record to point to the IP address of the web server, currently 76.12.224.10
- Update the www record (if applicable) to point to the web server IP address as well. With some registrars the www record is set to point to the @ record. If that is the case, no change is required.
- Add an SPF or TXT record – Enter a descriptive host name (if applicable) with the following value:v=spf1 mx ip4:76.12.185.104/29 ip4:76.12.185.112/28 ip4:76.12.224.10 ~all
