SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication method that helps prevent unauthorized senders from using your domain. By specifying which mail servers are allowed to send on your behalf, SPF helps protect against spoofing and improves email deliverability.
Perception Point is a cybersecurity platform that offers advanced threat prevention for email, web browsers, and cloud collaboration tools—often integrating with email systems to scan and intercept threats in real time.
This guide will walk you through the steps to configure SPF for your domain when using Perception Point to ensure your outbound email remains trusted and secure.
Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:perception-point.io’ and follow the steps here.
