About SPF settings (information for administrators)
If you wish to send e-mail to an e-mail address used for mail hosting as the sender, please register a SPF record [*] in the DNS record of your domain.
The SPF settings recommended by the Organization for Information Environment include the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of KUINS-II of Kyoto University and the server address of Google, expressed in DNS records as follows.
_spf.iimc.kyoto-u.ac.jp. IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:133.3.0.0/16 ip4:130.54.0.0/16 ip6:2001:2f8:181::/48 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
To use the recommended settings, configure the following for the domain of the e-mail address you manage.
hogehoge.kyoto-u.ac.jp. IN TXT "v=spf1 include:_spf.iimc.kyoto-u.ac.jp ~all"
*If you are sending e-mail from a system other than the university's internal server (Gmail or KUINS-II server), please ask the system provider about the settings.
[*]What is SPF?
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a mechanism to check that the domain (the part after @) of an e-mail address is not spoofed.
In advance, a range of IP addresses of mail servers to be sent to each domain of a mail address is registered as an SPF record on the name server.
The receiving mail server judges that mail is not being spoofed if it is sent from within the range of IP addresses set in the SPF.
For details on SPF, please refer to JPNIC's explanation at the following URL.
