+=== SPF Record ===
+We found out earlier what our SPF record looks like, it came from MXRouting mail server.
+\\
+. The Name    -    therlowe.uk (just your domain name) so the 'host' part in Porkbun should be empty.
+. The TTL     -    3600
+. The Type    -    TXT
+. The Value   -    "v=spf1 include:mxroute.com -all"
+Open the DNS Settings in Porkbun for your domain.

+=== DMARC Record ===
+As discussed, the DMARC record is 'site wide' so although you can add many domains and accounts to the MXRouting mail server, they all share the same DMARC record, we just have to change the embedded domain name in the record.
+\\
+\\
+    Type    -    TXT
+    Host    -    _dmarc
+    Answer  -    v=DMARC1; p=quarantine: rua=mailto;ukgreenn@therlowe.uk
+\\
+\\
+Open the Porkbun DNS page and enter the following:
+\\
+\\
+{{ :mail001r.png?700 |}}
+\\
+Again, you can now see the DMARC Record at the bottom of the DNS Page.

+{{ :mail001t.png?500 |}}

+When we bought our email server, we got an email, and this email contained information such as <color #ed1c24>MX Records</color>, here is what that part of the email said.
+\\
+    DNS MX RECORDS:
+    pixel.mxrouting.net (Priority 10)
+    pixel-relay.mxrouting.net (Priority 20)
+    (These above are both record type "MX" and should have the name value set to either @ or blank, not a subdomain).
+\\
+Simply put, we add these two MX Records to our DNS.
+\\
+\\
+Open the DNS Settings for your domain.
+\\
+\\
+Fill out the parameters for the two MX Records, click <color #ed1c24>ADD</color> after each one.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :mail001u.png?700 |}}
+\\
+{{ :mail001v.png?700 |}}
+\\
+You should now see the two MX Records at the bottom of the page in your <color #ed1c24>Current Records</color> section.
