Adding Right Hand to Your SPF Record

An SPF record is a compilation of authorized mail servers and domains permitted to send emails on your behalf. By incorporating Right Hand into your SPF records, we can send simulated phishing emails on your behalf, thereby decreasing the probability of these emails being identified as spam or phishing.

To allow Right hand's mail servers to send emails on your behalf, add the following line of text to your SPF record:

include:_spf.psm.example.com

For an example of an SPF record that includes the line of text, see below. The following example uses Google Workspace as the mail server:

v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:_spf.psm.example.com ~all


After you update your SPF records, we recommend that you send yourself a test phishing email that spoofs your domain. If you have successfully added Right Hand to your SPF record, the email should not go to your Spam folder or be flagged as malicious.

Add Right Hand's IP Addresses to Your SPF Record

If you have already added 10 DNS lookups to your SPF record, you’ll need to add our IP addresses to your SPF record. For a list of our IP addresses, see our Whitelisting best practices article.

For an example of an SPF record that uses our IP addresses, see below. The following example uses Google Workspace as the mail server:

v=spf1 ip4:168.245.54.27 include:_spf.google.com -all


After you update your SPF records, we recommend that you send yourself a test phishing email that spoofs your domain. If you have successfully added Right Hand to your SPF record, the email should not go to your Spam folder or be flagged as malicious.
