How to configure Sendgrid SPF in my DNS settings?
-
Today I got the first issue where my mails can not be reached to a destination. So I choose to use Sendgrid, created an API Key and tried to add a TXT Record for SPF on my namecheap DNS. I found this doc from sendgrid: https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/spf-records
I do not know what I should enter on the host input field in my DNS settings? I also changed the smtp server to sendgrid on my cloudron instance.Are there easier, or better options instead of using Sendgrid?
Maybe this belongs more to offtopic since it does not have to do much with cloudron itself. In this case I really apologize!

On sendgrid I've found the sender authentication menu entry, where it can generate dns entries to apply into my dns provider. Added my domain there and got 3 CNAME entries. I added them into my dns provider and changed the cloudron internal stmp to sendgrid.
I will give you an update if this works. -
@devtron I think adding those CNAME records is the correct approach. I have to admit it's very difficult to find good information in Sendgrid docs. Closest I found is https://docs.sendgrid.com/ui/account-and-settings/spf-records .
In the past, it used to be like https://dmarcly.com/blog/how-to-set-up-spf-and-dkim-for-sendgrid (warning: not sendgrid doc site).
