How to add/enable SPF record for an account – cPanel server command line option

The SPF stands for – Sender Policy Framework. This’s a commonly using email validation method by verifying the sender IP address. By verifying sender IP address, we can identify the origin of emails. Enabling SPF for your domain means validating your account with the IP address.

We can enable the SPF simply from the control panel. Here, I am discussing the command line option to enable SPF record for a user under the cPanel server.
In cPanel, there is script to enable the SPF record for a particular user, see the script loacation details pasted below:
