Domain changes to ensure emails are received by your customers.

The system is going to send out emails that are from your company - these will be blocked by some spam filters unless you update your internet domain registration

  • Microsoft have implemented two new security checks.  The simplest one appears to be an SPF record (and a very similar Sender ID record).
  • Your domain registration needs to include an SPF record that tells the world (including microsoft) that our server sends emails from your email address.  
  • The SPF and Sender ID records are a text record in a particular format.  There is a wizard to create the correct text to add to the text record.
  • See a wizard here https://www.dynu.com/NetworkTools/SPFGenerator
  • The generated SPF record starts with "v=spf1".  Change this to "spf2.0/pra" for the Sender ID record

You will need /wiki/spaces/DEV/pages/33036807 to create the spf records.
