How to set up SPF for Zoho Mail

Short answer

For Zoho Mail, publish a single SPF TXT record including Zoho’s servers: v=spf1 include:zohomail.com ~all (Zoho may specify a region-specific include). Combine it with any other senders in the same record, and pair with Zoho DKIM for DMARC alignment.

Publish the include

Add Zoho’s include to your one SPF record. If you already send through other services, merge their includes rather than creating a second SPF record.

Add DKIM too

SPF alone can fail DMARC on forwarding — enable Zoho DKIM (signed with your domain) so DMARC passes reliably on alignment.
