SPF Record Check Failed for Zendesk
What should I do if the SPF record check fails for my Zendesk support address?
If the SPF record check fails, ensure that an SPF record is set up for your email address.
While an SPF record isn't necessary for Zendesk to send outgoing notifications, it allows Zendesk to send emails from your domain. Without it, emails will appear as originating from Zendesk. If you're experiencing issues with the SPF record, verify its setup with your email administrator. For more information, see the article on allowing Zendesk to send email on behalf of your domain.
