SFP for emailing from the domain(s)

Pair Support Recommends SPF

Several third-party email providers have implemented stricter SPFrequirements, causing an increase in bounced emails for our customers.

We recommend enabling SPF on your mailbox's domain to decreasebounce rates.

*What is SPF?*

SPF, or Sender Policy Framework, is a DNS record that helps combat spam and phishing emails. Once added to a domain, the SPF record will affect all mailboxes linked to the domain, provided the domain is not using third-party DNS servers or email services. See Adding an SPF Record for a deeper technical explanation.

If a mailbox doesn't have SPF enabled, some email providers may refuse to accept the email, regardless of its legitimacy.

Enabling SPF

We created a pre-configured SPF record you can activate on yourmailbox's domain. It's a beginner-friendly process; you only need toclick a few buttons in your hosting account. It works well for most Pair Networks customers who do not use third-party DNS servers or third-party email services on their domain.

To enable SPF:

• Log in to your account at my.pair.com.
• In the left sidebar, click Domains, then click the Manage YourDomain Names tab.
• In the Domain Name column, click the domain that your custom mailbox uses (For example, 'user@example.com' would use the domain 'example.com').
• Find the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) section and click the Change SPF Settings button.
• Click the Activate SPF button.
