First, there is SPF or Sender Policy Framework. It’s the first line of defense in email authentication and uses a Domain Name System (DNS) TXT record to specify which servers can send emails on behalf of your domain. So, implementing the technology is straightforward, but you must know how to create DNS TXT records and identify your email-sending servers. On top of that, if you use both platforms to execute different email marketing campaigns, you’ll need to combine the formats into one SPF.
Take a look at this example of an effective way to combine Google and Mailchimp SPFs:
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:servers.mcsv.net ~all
Or, learn to write SPFs for Outlook emails with this example:
v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all
At The Molo Group, we manage email marketing for many clients who utilize both Google and Mailchimp. Both platforms can accomplish the same goal: performing email marketing, but their SPFs are formatted entirely differently.
Don’t let your email marketing efforts go to waste–get a head start on your email authentication process with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC if you’re a bulk sender who needs quick issue identification and refuses to comb through thousands of emails.
