Mailjet SPF Setup

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication protocol that helps protect your domain from spoofing and phishing by verifying that Mailjet is authorized to send emails on your behalf. It works by adding a special TXT record to your DNS, specifying which servers are allowed to send mail for your domain.

This guide walks you through how to configure SPF for your domain when using Mailjet as your email service provider.

Mailjet SPF Requirements

Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:spf.mailjet.com’ and follow the steps here.

To authorize Mailjet to send emails on your domain’s behalf:

  1. Log in to your domain’s DNS dashboard.
  2. Go to the page where you can update the DNS settings on that domain.
  3. Check if a TXT record starting with v=spf1 already exists.
    • If it exists, modify the existing record to include Mailjet (details in the table below).
    • If not, create a new TXT record.

Example of an updated SPF record:

HostTypeValue
@ or blankTXTv=spf1 include:another.net include:spf.mailjet.com ~all

Example of a new SPF record:

HostTypeValue
@ or blankTXTv=spf1 include:spf.mailjet.com ~all
  1. Save your changes in the DNS control panel.

Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
