How SPF Enhances Email Deliverability in Zendesk
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.
