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.

To add a new SPF record to Namecheap, follow the steps as mentioned below:

  • Generate an SPF record using any free generator online.
  • Log in to your Namecheap account as an administrator.
  • Go to Domain List and click on Manage for your desired domain.
  • Select Advanced DNS and then select Add New Record.

  • Add the following values in the new record:

             Type: TXT 

             Name: @ or default

             Value: Your generated SPF record value (e.g. v=spf1 include:spf.google.com -all)

Enterprise provenance

Why top financial institutions and governments retired their email security dashboards.

Traditional email authentication platforms sell you a dashboard and ask your engineers to do the labour. In high-stakes environments, manual oversight means delayed enforcement, configuration drift and unmonitored shadow domains.

EmailAuth is the agentic email provenance platform. Our agents enforce p=reject, keep third-party senders aligned and move your domains to full RFC 9989 compliance, the new DMARC standard,, with human-in-the-loop auditability.
