Add PhishGuard to Your Sender Policy Framework (SPF) Record

A Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record is a list of mail servers and domains that are authorized to send emails on your behalf. Adding PhishGuard to your SPF record allows us to send simulated phishing emails on your behalf and reduces the likelihood that these emails will be marked as spam or malicious.

Add PhishGuard Using IP Address

To allow PhishGuard’s mail server to send emails on your behalf, add the following IP address to your SPF record:

ip4:207.127.101.68

Example SPF Record (Using Google Workspace)

The following example uses Google Workspace as the mail server and includes the PhishGuard IP address:

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ip4:207.127.101.68 ~all

Test Your Configuration

After updating your SPF record:

  1. Allow time for DNS propagation.
  2. Send yourself a test phishing simulation email from PhishGuard that spoofs your domain.
  3. Verify that the email:
    • Is not delivered to the Spam folder.
    • Is not flagged as spoofed or malicious.
    • Passes SPF checks in the email headers.

If SPF is configured correctly, the message should pass authentication and be delivered normally.
