October 11, 2023 | < 1 min read
SPF records are used to help prevent email spoofing. They help to ensure that only authorized servers can send emails on behalf of your domain. SPF records can help to improve your email deliverability.
How to Configure SPF for Zix
You must include Zix transmitting domains or IP addresses in your SPF record if you wish to integrate ZixGateway with your current Nimbus Logic configuration. You can either include:
A:zixvpm01.datbusiness.com A:zixvpm02.datbusiness.com
or
ip4:66.165.128.0/19 ip4:69.89.224.0/20
In the event that your domain already contains an SPF record, for instance:
Previous SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.domain.com -all
Modified SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.domain.com A:zixvpm01.datbusiness.com A:zixvpm02.datbusiness.com -all
Worth noting: Refrain from adding more than one SPF record for a single domain.
