Microsoft Dynamics 365

SPF records help improve email deliverability by helping to prevent email spoofing. By including an SPF record in your DNS settings, you can help to ensure that email sent from your domain is not marked as spam by email providers.

How to Configure SPF for Microsoft Dynamics 365

  • Sign in to your DNS administration interface.
  • Select DNS Template under Tools & Settings
  • You must change the DNS TXT record for SPF.
  • For Microsoft Dynamics 365, an SPF TXT record will have the following syntax:

yourdomain.com TXT v=spf1 include:marketing.dynamics.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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 as shown below:

Previous SPF record:  v=spf1 include:spf.zoho.com -all

Modified SPF record:  v=spf1 include:spf.zoho.com include:marketing.dynamics.com -all

  • Save adjustments.
  • Allow your DNS to process the adjustments for 72 hours.
