How do I configure senders in Enforce?

Each individual sender will need to be configured for either SPF in an aligned manner or DKIM. As a best practice, we recommend turning on both when available. You can read more about configuring senders in Enforce and detailed step-by-step instructions by accessing the following article: Redesigned Configuration Page


Should I mirror my SPF record in Valimail?

As a best practice, we do not recommend mirroring (copying) the existing SPF record, most of the time the SPF record can be legacy and over time IPs and SPF includes are added but never removed. We recommend reviewing the existing SPF record and adding only the IPs and Senders that are authorized to send on behalf of your domain.

Will pointing SPF and DKIM affect our email flow?
Email deliverability will not be affected.

Before pointing SPF and DKIM, it is recommended to add the Authorized senders from your SPF record to Valimail as well as import existing DKIM keys from DNS to Valimail for a seamless transition.

Why should I connect Microsoft Office 365 to Valimail?

Microsoft365 mailboxes do not send DMARC reporting data in the normal manner. This longstanding issue can prevent some domains from getting to DMARC enforcement. By connecting Microsoft Office 365 to Valimail, you get DMARC reporting data from your own mailboxes as well as Valimail Service Owner Insights.
