SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication standard used to prevent unauthorized email sending from your domain by specifying which servers are allowed to send mail on your behalf.
This guide outlines how to set up SPF for domains sending mail on behalf of Braintree Payments, a platform that enables online and mobile payment processing.
Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:spf.braintreegateway.com’ and follow the steps here.
To authorize Braintree Payments to send emails on your domain’s behalf:
Example of an updated SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:another.net include:spf.braintreegateway.com ~all |
Example of a new SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:spf.braintreegateway.com ~all |
Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
