SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

A DNS record that lists which servers are allowed to send mail for your domain.

Published January 15, 2026 · By RAPID SMTP

Receivers check the envelope-from address against your SPF record. If the sending IP isn't listed, the message can be rejected or marked spam. Always include your SMTP provider's `include:` mechanism.
