This guide will help you get started using the Outgoing Filtering service.

To begin using SpamExperts Outgoing Filtering, you must first purchase a SpamExperts Outgoing Filtering.

Creating Outgoing Users

The first thing you will need to do, is to create an outgoing user.

To do this, follow the steps below.

1. Click the Manage Order button within WHMCS to login to the SpamExperts Control Panel

2. Click "Manage users" under the Outgoing section

3. Locate the "Add a user" section pictured below.

4. Select the "Authenticating User" tab

5. Enter the desired username/email prefix and password and click "Add" to create the account

Configuring your Email Client

Configure your email client with the following details:

  • Mail Hostname: smtp.antispamcloud.com
  • Mail Username: the full email address you created above
  • Mail Password: the password you specified above
  • Outgoing Port Number: 587 (Supports STARTTLS)

For more details, please refer to SpamExperts details documentation found here.

Setting up SPF

SPF records are TXT records placed into a domain's DNS settings.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework)  is a way to restrict which mail servers are allowed to send email for your domain name.

SPF Record Configuration

Create a  TXT record for the outgoing sending domain with the following details:

"v=spf1 include:spf.antispamcloud.com -all"

If you already have an existing SPF, simply add a:6205.submission.antispamcloud.com a:release.antispamcloud.com to your existing record. 

Setting up DKIM

If your sending domains already sign with DKIM, then this should not be changed.

SpamExperts will simply forward the DKIM signed messages along to the recipient.

If there is no DKIM signing, you can decide to either sign this on your sending MTA, or sign with SpamExperts.

It's not obliged to sign with DKIM, however it often helps to "authenticate" as much as possible your senders.

Further information on how to setup DKIM with SpamExperts can be found here.

Setting up MTA

Instructions for configuring MTA records for different mail servers are located here.
