SPF(not supported) DKIM(recommended)
This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Squarespace Email Campaigns and how they are managed in Valimail Enforce. While only one of the two authentication methods is required for an email to pass DMARC, our recommendation is to configure both whenever possible.
Squarespace Email Campaigns does not send SPF aligned emails by default, so DKIM would be the best configuration option for this service.
