SPF is an email authentication standard that protects your domain from spam by providing a way to publish a list of sending sources that are permitted to send emails from your domain. To add Statuspage as a verified sender, follow these steps! 

Creating an SPF Record for Statuspage

Here are the steps to set up SPF for Statuspage :

• Login to your DNS management console 

• Navigate to Tools & Settings > DNS Template

• You need to edit the DNS TXT record related to SPF

• An SPF TXT record for Statuspage will have the following syntax: 

name.domain.com    TXT   v=spf1 include:stspg-customer.com -all

• Publish this record in your DNS records section for your respective domain. 

Note: If you don’t have an SPF record previously for your domain, simply publish the above-mentioned record to enable SPF for outgoing emails using Statuspage. If you do have an existing SPF record in your DNS, you need to modify it to include Statuspage, as shown below:

Previous SPF record:  v=spf1 mx -all

Modified SPF record:  v=spf1 mx  include:stspg-customer.com -all

• Save changes 

• Wait for 24-48 hours to allow your DNS to process the changes 

Finally, you can look up your record using our SPF record lookup tool, and enable DMARC for your domains: take a DMARC trial.
