Setup SolarWinds SPF Record:
Open your Website and click DNS in the left navigation menu.
In the Records tab, click Add Record.
Select type TXT.
In the record Name field, write your domain name.
In the Content field, add the SPF value: v=spf1 include:url944.samanage.com ~all.
Click Save to add the record to the DNS dashboard.
Merge Multiple SPF Records:
Due to the limitations of the DNS dashboard, we can only add one SPF record for a domain. If you have an existing SPF record in your DSN dashboard, merge it with SolarWinds SPF to get a combined value.
Go to SPF Merge Tool.
Add the SolarWinds SPF value and click Merge SPF Values. The tool detects your existing DNS records and merges them with new value.
Copy the Merged value and replace your previously added SPF value with it.
Hit the Save button to save your changes.
