If you're using Google Workspace to send email from your domain, setting up your SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record properly is essential to prevent spoofing, improve email deliverability, and keep your messages out of the spam folder.
✅ In this episode, Charly walks through:
🛠️ The exact SPF value to add for Google Workspace
📌 The importance of updating an EXISTING SPF record in your DNS settings
⚠️ What to avoid—like having multiple SPF records
This step is often overlooked but makes a huge difference when it comes to email security and consistency. If you want to ensure your email is trusted, this episode is for you.
The record to ADD if you don't already have SPF entry in your DNS is:
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
If you have a SPF entry, edit the record and add the following before the ~all (or -all) at the end:
include:_spf.google.com

✅ Why you can’t rely on the date of the file
⚡ Why a suspicious looking file date still may not confirm anything
⭐ What actually protects your site from compromise
You can’t ignore the file, but you certainly can’t trust it. What do you think?
