In Summit Evergreen, once you have set up your emails, you will want to ensure that they get sent correctly. To do this, sometimes it will be necessary to create a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record with your domain name registrar. The purpose of this SPF record is to ensure that emails sent from the specified domain are not marked as spam by any email clients. It can be done quickly, in a matter of minutes, by modifying your Domain Name System (DNS).
Here’s how you do it:
- Go to your domain registrar’s website
- Login to the domain control panel
- Open your DNS configuration settings
- Edit your ZONE File and look for a TXT or an SPF record
- Specify the following value: v=spf1 include:mailgun.org ~all
- Save your changes
When following these steps, if you find that an SPF record already exists, you can just include the SPF in the same line as your existing record, as follows: v=spf1 include:spf1.domain.com include:spf2.domain2.com include:email.mailgun.org ~all
