How to Setup SPF for Forcepoint-Websense?

17 May 20221 min readBy Team EA

The Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email authentication system that detects forged sender addresses while the email is being delivered. SPF, on the other hand, is confined to detecting a forged sender claim in the email’s envelope, which is used when it bounces.

SPF set up on Forcepoint requires you to follow the next steps exactly as mentioned :

  • Login to your DNS management console and select My account.
  •  Go to Domains and select Manage DNS for your domain. 
  • Go to records and click on Add. 
  • Add your SPF record as follows:

Type: TXT

                Host: @ 

                Value: v=spf1 include:mailcontrol.com ~all

  • Choose an SPF failure module that suits you and click on Save. 

Now check your newly created record using our free SPF validator tool.
