Email authentication with SPF is an essential part of your business’s online communications. It allows you to send emails confidently knowing that they are from you and that they have not been tampered with. This gives your recipients the assurance that your emails are coming from a legitimate source, and that you’re a trusted brand. 

Mailigen uses the SPF protocol to send your outbound messages. These protocols ensure that domains you use in your campaigns are validated as belonging to you and that the IP addresses of the message originators are authorized.  In order to create the SPF records, you need to follow Mailigen's instructions. Once they have given you the records you will have to create them on your server.
