 * Hello,
 * I know the documentation says that an SPF record isn’t necessary, but I’ve always
   updated my SPF record in my DNS to validate my sending domain as well.
 * This is my current syntax. Can anyone tell me if the mailpoet portion is correct?
 * “v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.google.com include:sendingservice.net ~all”
 * Thanks!
 * Vaughan

 * Hi [@vaughanmoore](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vaughanmoore/),
 * > Can anyone tell me if the mailpoet portion is correct?
 * Yes, this is correct. However, please note it won’t have any effect on your deliverability
   when you’re sending emails with us.
 * As the emails are sent through our servers, your messages will automatically 
   have MailPoet Sending Service’s SPF set up, it doesn’t require that your domain
   include our sender domain in your SPF record.
 * I hope that’s clearer!
