Has anyone created a SPF record on your DNS server to stop spammers from spoofing email accounts from your domain? Does the SPF record work?

Thanks

P.S. I may have posted this in the wrong area.

We have and SPF record, mainly because you need it to some domains. It doesn't stop the spoofing but it means that a well configured spam filter can snare the spam.

Cheers.
 
Here's a great online tool to help you form your record(s):


I used it for our record and it was a great help. There are also lots of explanatory information on this site concerning SPF.

Enjoy.
