What SPF is and why it matters 👩‍🏫

The Sender Policy Framework, SPF, allows you to specify which servers can send from your domain.

Typically, you’d authorize your email service provider’s server to send on your domain’s behalf.

With SPF set up, emails that claim to be coming from your domain will have to pass SPF authentication. If such an email comes from a server (or IP address) that’s not in your SPF record, it will fail authentication.

SPF was created to combat email spoofing, the act of pretending to send email from a trusted domain.

Before SPF was a thing, spoofing was easy. SPF and other email authentication methods have stopped this.

That’s why when you send emails without authentication methods in place, email service providers tend to put you in the spam folder at best or not deliver your email at worst.

In other words, not setting up SPF and other authentication methods will lower your open rate significantly.
