How To: Setup Mailer SPF record for sending mail

Authorize Business Manager to send mail on behalf of your business' own domain by setting a custom SPF record for your domain.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an email authentication method which ensures the sending mail server is authorized to originate mail from the email sender's domain.

Domains can have one SPF record. However, the SPF record for a domain can specify multiple servers and third parties that are allowed to send mail for the domain.

Create a custom SPF record that also authorizes our domain for sending mail on your domain's behalf. If you’re not sure what these services are, please get your domain administrator to help you with the setup.

Your SPF record should include a reference to Business Manager, and to the domains and IP addresses of all servers or services that send mail for your domain.

Example SPF records:

Here are example SPF records for common email setups that use Business Manager and other senders. Every example includes mngr.co.za, which is required to send mail with our Mailer.

Start with this SPF record, then add the information for your other senders:

v=spf1 include:mngr.co.za ~all

Important: The IP addresses and domain names used in this table are examples. Replace them with IP addresses and domains for your senders.

Run DNS Check

After you have set the new SPF record for your domain, run our DNS Checker. Our tool will check your domain's DNS records to ensure that it has been set correctly. After passing the check, our Mailer will send mail on your behalf.
