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.

Can I use SPF authentication with BombBomb?

Yes. For BombBomb to be listed as your authorized email sending source, it is advised that you enable SPF. As a result, the deliverability rate will increase and there will be less spam complaints. Follow these steps to Configure SPF for BombBomb:

How to Configure SPF for BombBomb

• Sign in to your DNS administration interface.
• Select DNS Template under Tools & Settings
• You must change the DNS TXT record for SPF.
• For BombBomb, an SPF TXT record will have the following syntax:

mydomain.com TXT v=spf1 include:include:bbemaildelivery.com -all

• This record should be published in the DNS records section for the relevant domain.

Worth noting: To activate SPF for outgoing emails using BombBomb if your domain previously lacked an SPF record, all you need to do is publish the aforementioned record. If your DNS already contains an SPF record, you must update it to include BombBomb as shown below:
