SPF(supported) (dedicated subdomain)
DKIM(recommended)



This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Stamped.io and how they are managed in Valimail Enforce. Because this service leverages Sendgrid's email infrastructure, it requires additions to your DNS records outside of the Valimail platform. Adding Stamped.io as an authorized sender in the Valimail Enforce usually requires a dedicated subdomain to be pointed to the Sendgrid infrastructure and typically the DKIM keys will be added in the Valimail platform.
