Validate your SPF records and email authentication configuration. Ensure authorized servers can send emails on your domain's behalf.

Understanding SPF records

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) records are DNS entries that specify which mail servers are authorized to send emails from your domain. They help prevent email spoofing and improve deliverability by allowing receiving servers to verify legitimate senders.

How SPF works

DNS publication

You publish a TXT record listing authorized sending sources.

Email verification

Receiving servers check if the sender is in your SPF record.

Policy enforcement

Unauthorized emails are handled per your policy (~all, -all, etc).

Improves deliverability
