Restart Cpanel.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an attempt to control forged e-mail. SPF is not directly about stopping spam – junk email. It is about giving domain owners a way to say which mail sources are legitimate for their domain and which ones aren’t. While not all spam is forged, virtually all forgeries are spam. SPF was created in 2003 to help close loopholes in email delivery systems that allow spammers to “spoof” or steal your email address to send hundreds, thousands or even millions of emails illicitly.

Cpanel > Mail > Email Authentication > SPF Enable.

Once you Enable this, it will show

================
SPF
SPF has been enabled.

Your raw SPF record is : v=spf1 a mx ?all
