How to allow emails from all servers,

To fix the issue with the SPF record in GoDaddy, you can follow these steps:

    Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to the DNS management page for your domain.

    Locate the existing SPF record for your domain, which should be in the TXT record type.

    Edit the existing SPF record by appending "+ip4:209.59.154.50" to it, which authorizes the server to send mail as well. The new SPF record should look something like this:

    v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com +ip4:209.59.154.50 ~all

    Save the changes to the DNS records.

    Wait for the changes to propagate, which may take up to 48 hours.

After making these changes, the server's IP address should be authorized to send mail for your domain, which should prevent messages from being discarded or sent to spam folders.
