Protect your domain with SPF records   Spammers may send emails that appear to come from  your domain, by forging the From field. By adding a  Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record to your domain  host, your recipients can identify which mail servers  can send emails from your domain.   You add Google’s servers in the SPF record to tell the  mail server of the person you’re sending email to that  your email comes from you, and is not spam. You have  to add the SPF record at your domain.  For example, when you send an email from Gmail to someone, their server will check  that the SPF record at your domain (yourdomain.com) matches the message’s server.  If it doesn’t, it may be rejected as spam.   Note: If you bought your domain from a Google partner (GoDaddy.com, eNom.com,  and DomainDiscount24.com) when you signed up for G Suite, then you may not need  to do this.   

1 

Create an SPF record for your domain    When you verified your domain for G Suite, you added records at your domain host. You  do something very similar to add an SPF record:  1.

First, go to your domain host (like GoDaddy or Dreamhost), and sign in.   (Not sure who your domain host is? Get help to identify it.) 

2.

Go to your domain’s DNS records.   The page might be called DNS Zone, DNS Management, Name Server  Management, Control Panel, or Advanced Settings.   If you can’t find your domain’s DNS records settings, use the verification  instructions for your domain host on how to add a TXT record in the  Help Center.

3.

Add a new TXT record with the following text   (copy and paste): v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all  Your domain host may require that you add @ to your TXT record.  

4.

(Optional) If you get error messages, use the verification instructions for  your domain host on how to add a TXT record in the Help Center. 

5.

Save your changes.   Your new SPF record can take up to 48 hours to go into effect, but it  usually happens more quickly. 

  Advanced: If you want to make your emails even more secure, you can   Authenticate email with DKIM and Prevent outgoing spam with DMARC.
