What is an SPF record?
A short TXT record on your domain that lists the servers allowed to send email for you. Mail providers check it to spot fake email.
Why does SPF matter?
Without a sound SPF record, real email from you can land in spam and fake email sent as you can get through.
Is the SPF lookup free?
Yes. No sign-up and no card. It reads your domain's public DNS records, and nothing about you is stored.
