Frequently asked questions

Where do I add the SPF record?

At your DNS host, create a TXT record on the root of the domain (host @ or blank) with the generated value. If an SPF record already exists, replace it; do not add a second one.

Do I need SPF for Mailchimp marketing email?

Mailchimp's marketing platform sends with its own Return-Path, so SPF for your domain is not needed there; authenticate it with Mailchimp's DKIM CNAME records instead. Mandrill (Mailchimp Transactional) uses include:spf.mandrillapp.com.

Which include does my provider need?

Check your provider's current documentation; the values here are the published defaults. Some providers, like HubSpot, give account-specific includes.
