cPanel API 2 Functions - SPFUI::list_settings

Warning:

The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2.

Description

This function lists the account's SPF settings.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2. However, no equivalent UAPI function exists.

Note:

On servers that run CentOS 7, you may see a named warning about the absence of SPF resource records on DNS.

This warning is not relevant on CentOS 7 servers, because RFC 7208 deprecated SPF records. CentOS 7 servers use TXT records instead of SPF records.
Red Hat 7.1 and CentOS 7.1 both contain bind-9.9.4-23.el7 , which is an updated version of BIND that complies with RFC 7208. To resolve this issue, update your operating system to a version that contains the updated version of BIND. For more information, read the Red Hat Bugzilla case about SPF record errors .
