How SPF Enhances Email Deliverability in Zendesk

Learn how SPF records improve email deliverability in Zendesk by verifying trusted email sources.

How does SPF improve email deliverability in Zendesk?

SPF, or Sender Policy Framework, is a TXT record that lists approved IP addresses or hostnames allowed to send emails on behalf of your domain, improving email deliverability.

By adding a Zendesk SPF record, you help prevent your emails from being blocked or sent to spam folders. This is because the SPF record verifies that Zendesk is a trusted source to send emails on your behalf. While not strictly required, it is strongly recommended to include Zendesk in your SPF record to ensure smooth email delivery.
