SPF, Sender Policy Framework are DNS entries that are used to list the mail server which should be considered valid for a given domain. When an email is received, a DNS lookup of the TXT record containing the SPF data is queried and the data is analyzed to determine if the server is allowed. If it is then it passed that spam filter check.

When adding a client, there is a lot of information which can be defined. Not all, or even most of this information is required, much of it is for billing and payment services. If you are actively using ISPConfig3 for reselling services it is a good idea to input as much of the data as possible, it will likely prove useful down the road.
- Logon to your ISPConfig3 interface.
- Select the Client tab.
- Select Add Client from the menu on the left.
- Enter the Contact Name, I generally enter the full name of the client, such as “Joe Smith”
- Although you can change the Customer No. field, I suggest you leave it as is if you followed the ISPConfig — Main Config — Prefix’s post.
- Enter the Username. This is the name client will use when logging into the ISPConfig3 interface.
- Enter the Password for the client. This is the password used in conjunction with the user name created above. (You can use the Generate Password button to create a new password if preferred.)
- Repeat the Password, if entered manually.
- Select the Email used to communicate with the client.
- Select the Save button at the bottom of the page.
Again, I suggest you enter as much non-required data as possible.

ISPConfig is based on a reseller environment, where you have zero or more resellers who can add clients and manage domains. This is not required, for example, as administrator, you can create clients directly bypassing re-sellers completely. And in fact, you don’t need either, the admin has full capabilities.
