If you’re using Google Apps for email–and it’s a solid choice with lots of storage space, spam management tools and integration with other free services–after creating the appropriate DNS records to route your email, you’ll want to add an SPF Record. This ensures better email delivery and prevents vile spammers from forging their spam as having come from you!
Some domain registrars give you adequate tools to add an SPF record directly, but if not, it’s simple enough to add it directly in WHM. ((Thanks to this helpful article on Tech Talk Point.))
You’re using the “Edit Zone” command; select the zone for the domain in question, and add a new text record.
Google Apps Mail SPF
Use domain.com. (keeping period at the end intact) as the entry, and the code below for the text part of the record (keeping quotes intact).
"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
See? That didn’t hurt much.
