SPF(not supported)
DKIM(recommended)


This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Delivra and how they are managed in Valimail Enforce. While only one of the two authentication methods is required for an email to pass DMARC, our recommendation is to configure both whenever possible.
Delivra does not send SPF alignment emails by default, so DKIM is the best way to configure this sender.
