How to Set Up/Modify SPF for SendinBlue

The following description addresses how to update a Domain Name Service (DNS) record to use SPF with your custom domain in SendinBlue.

SendinBlue utilizes an include mechanism during the set-up process. For example, if you do not have an SPF record on your domain, the following scenario is the most common and would pass SPF:

v=spf1 include:sendinblue.com ~all

If you do already have an SPF record on your domain, simply add the following to it:

include:sendinblue.com

To create an SPF record for your domain name, follow these steps:

1. Log in to control panel for your domain DNS host

2. Create a record with the following specifications:

v=spf1 include:sendinblue.com ~all

3. Decide how you want to enforce SPF failures:

~all results in a soft fail (not authorized, but not explicitly unauthorized)

-all results in a hard fail (unauthorized)

?all is neutral (similar to no policy)

As shown above, enter your choice after v=spf1 include:sendinblue.com

4. Save changes

How to Set Up/Modify DKIM for SendinBlue

2. In the Your Senders box, click Configure

3. View list of domains and select domain you want to sign your emails (or create one)

9. Click Save

10. Once you see green check appear, click Done
