SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication protocol designed to prevent unauthorized senders from sending emails on behalf of your domain. By verifying which servers are allowed to send email for your domain, SPF helps reduce the risk of spoofing and phishing attacks.
This guide explains how to configure SPF for Marketo, Adobe’s powerful marketing automation platform used to manage and deliver email campaigns.
Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:mktomail.com’ and follow the steps here.
To authorize Marketo 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:mktomail.com ~all |
Example of a new SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:mktomail.com ~all |
Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
