The SPF record for your domain is set up on and published by
your DNS server. Those receiving mail from your domain will check it to
see if arriving messages have been forged. If you are receiving those
type of messages, then you would need to set up a way to check for SPF
validity on incoming mail on your mail server.

To start, make a list for us of the mail servers that are
allowed to send out mail using your domain name.

Steve,

thanks for your helpful reply.

I am using the ISP's public DNS, and i don't have a local DNS server,
i have only one mail server with a single public IP,
and i need the mails to be sent through this IP.

Could you please give me a practical SPF record,
for my mail server's public IP, say it's 162.x.x.x.
and my domain is "mydomain.com"

Looking forward to hear from you.

Many thanks for your help

Torinto

If only one mail server is used, then it is simple:

v=spf1 ip4:162.x.x.x -all

(use ~all while you are testing instead of -all)

Your domain name does not necessarily appear in the SPF record.
You are publishing the record in your domain's DNS (as a TXT record) so
it is associated with your domain there.

If that one IP is the only mail server used, yes.
