Starting Feb 2024, gmail will require senders who are sending more than 5000 emails a day to setup SPF authentication. See updated gmail sending requirements in Feb 2024. We recommend all email senders to add the following SPF record for OnVoard.

 

Go to your DNS provider and for your sending domain, add the following TXT record for SPF.

v=spf1 include:spf.onvoard.com ~all
