How to Set Up DMARC and SPF for Your Email

Setting up DMARC and SPF records is essential to improve email deliverability and protect your domain from spoofing. While Super Send doesn’t generate DMARC values, these records are managed through your email provider. This guide provides links to helpful resources for setting up DMARC and SPF.

What is DMARC?

DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) ensures that emails sent from your domain are authenticated using SPF and DKIM. This helps prevent unauthorized use of your domain, like phishing or spoofing.

How to Set Up DMARC

1. For Outlook Users:

• Follow Microsoft’s step-by-step guide here: Configure DMARC in Outlook

2. For Google Workspace Users:

• Google Workspace provides a detailed guide for setting up DMARC: Set Up DMARC with Google Workspace

What is SPF?

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a DNS record that specifies which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of your domain. It helps prevent spammers from sending unauthorized emails using your domain.

Do I Need to Configure Anything in Super Send?

No. DMARC and SPF are configured through your email provider, not within Super Send. Once these records are set up, Super Send will automatically use them for your campaigns.

Why DMARC and SPF are Important

1. Improved Deliverability:

• Ensures emails are authenticated, reducing the chance of being flagged as spam.

2. Enhanced Security:

• Protects your domain from spoofing and phishing attacks.

3. Better Reputation:

• Establishes trust with email service providers.
