• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

DNS and SPF Records

I'm new to DNS and SPF records, so I'm still learning about them.

From what I've read, I can add an SPF record by simply typing in the record and adding it as a TXT record with Plesk.

For example, I would add something like

domain.com would be v=spf1 a mx ?all
mail.domain.com would be v=spf1 a -all

Correct? To do this, I just added a new TXT record, either left the first field blank or typed mail in it, and for the record I added whichever I needed to.

However, it didn't seem to work.

I wanted to go look at the zone file directly and see what was going on and try to understand it, but I'm not exactly sure which file is the zone file.

From looking around, I thought it would be named.conf. That seems to have some settings for the domains, but I don't think that is it. Which file on the server would have all these dns records?

Does anyone know if I added the spf record correctly for the given domain? It still fails when I run a test at dnsstuff.com, so I don't think it's right.

Thanks in advance.
