Hi Guys,

I have built a new email server just to use as SMTP for my existing email (IMAP) server to avoid some blacklist issues, how can i create a SPF record in the DNS to authorise the new smtp server, so the emails wont be shown as phishing or or something.

You need to login your domain control panel and add a DNS > TXT record for your SMTP server. Replace "mail.server.here" with your SMTP server address. e.g. mail.domain.com. Leave the host name blank or use: "@"

Code:
v=spf1 include:mail.server.here a mx -all

OR

v=spf1 include:mail.server.here ~all

You can usually find instructions on how to do this on your host's website.
