It's a text record, you add as you would any other record - to the
DNS zone file, through the GUI - just add a TXT record, you won't
find SPF specifically listed. If the BQ/CentOS box is only hosting
the (v)sites and the DNS is handled elsewhere, then "elsewhere" is
where you must add the text record in the zone file for each
domain for which you want to publish SPF information.
