Having an SPF record set up for your domain for Zix will help MTAs identify Zix as an authorized email sending source. You need to add an SPF record depending on your existing Nimbus Logic setup. The options you have at your disposal are as follows:
Creating an SPF record for Zix
If you want to include ZixGateway in your existing Nimbus Logic setup, you need to include Zix sending domains or IP addresses in your SPF record. To do so you can either add:
A:zixvpm01.datbusiness.com A:zixvpm02.datbusiness.com
or
ip4:66.165.128.0/19 ip4:69.89.224.0/20
Now in case, you have an existing SPF record in your domain for example:
Previous SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.domain.com -all
Modified SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.domain.com A:zixvpm01.datbusiness.com A:zixvpm02.datbusiness.com -all
Note: DO NOT add multiple SPF records for the same domain
