Managed SPF (Delegation)

DMARC Busta uses SPF delegation to manage your SPF record without you needing to manually edit DNS.

How It Works

  1. Your root SPF record includes: include:_spf.yourdomain.com
  2. The _spf subdomain is a CNAME pointing to DMARC Busta
  3. When you approve sources, DMARC Busta updates the managed record
  4. Changes propagate automatically without touching your DNS

Benefits

  • No DNS editing - Changes happen automatically
  • Stay under limits - Optimized to avoid the 10-lookup limit
  • IP consolidation - Individual IPs converted to includes
  • Audit trail - All changes are logged
