**Step 04**: Do not forget to add a dot (.) at the end of your domain name.

**Step 05**: Enter your SPF record (e.g. “v=spf1 include:\_spf.smtp.com \~all”).

**Step 06**: Click the Add button.

<Note>
  On some servers we had to add a backslash `\` before each space otherwise the
  spf entry would not work. So if you get a weird result like `v=spf1` `a` `mx`
  `~all` with the standard spf record, please try with `v=spf1\ a\ mx\ ~all`
