Understanding SPF, DNS, and TXT Records in Zendesk

Learn about SPF, DNS, and TXT records in Zendesk for email authentication and security.

What are SPF, DNS, and TXT records in Zendesk?

SPF, DNS, and TXT records are essential components for email authentication in Zendesk.

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) helps prevent email spoofing by specifying which mail servers are allowed to send emails on behalf of your domain. DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phonebook of the internet, translating domain names into IP addresses. TXT records are a type of DNS record used to provide text information to sources outside your domain, often for verification purposes. Understanding these records is crucial for ensuring your emails are delivered correctly and securely. For more details, you can check theoriginal link.
