SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authorises Mailpro to send emails on behalf of your domain. Without a proper SPF, Gmail and Yahoo will flag your campaigns as spam — or reject them outright.
Pro tip: DNS propagation takes 1 to 24 hours. Set up SPF ahead of any important send.
The Mailpro SPF record
Add this TXT record to your DNS zone:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | TXT |
| Name / Host | @ (or your domain) |
| Value | v=spf1 include:spf.mailpro.com ~all |
| TTL | 3600 (or default) |
Important: the exact value is shown in your Mailpro account, Authentication section. Copy it from there to avoid mistakes.
Steps
- Log in to your DNS provider (Namecheap, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Google Domains…)
- Open the DNS zone of your domain
- Add a TXT record with the supplied value
- Save and wait for propagation
- Verify authentication inside Mailpro
Already have an SPF?
If an SPF record exists (e.g. for Google Workspace), combine it instead of adding a second one:
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:spf.mailpro.com ~all
Don't do this
- Don't create multiple SPF TXT records (only one allowed)
- Don't use
-allbefore full validation (strict reject) - Don't remove other existing includes
