Multiple brands on one mail server, SPF fails for some domains

One IP sending for multiple domains needs correct SPF per domain, not one shared record.

Try this first

  1. 1Each domain gets its own SPF record with the right include or ip4
  2. 2Check that helo/EHLO matches a hostname on one of the domains
  3. 3Set up DKIM per domain, not one shared key
  4. 4Test with a message from each brand to a Gmail account

When to bring us in

If you're unsure about sending IPs, ask the mail provider for the outbound IP list.
