+ | |||
+ | ==== ✅ Best Option: Use SMTP Authentication ==== | ||
+ | If the third-party service allows SMTP setup, configure it using your actual email credentials: | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | ==== ⚙️ Alternative Option: Add the Third Party’s Server to Your SPF Record ==== | ||
+ | If SMTP isn’t available, ask the third-party service for the IP address or domain name of their sending mail server.\\ | ||
+ | You can then **update your domain' | ||

+ | Please do not remove or overwrite your existing SPF record, as this may cause email delivery issues.\\ | ||
+ | If you're unsure how to proceed, feel free to contact our helpdesk for assistance. A one-time service fee may apply for SPF record updates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== ⚠️ If None of the Above Options Are Available ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the third-party service does not support SMTP and you prefer not to change your SPF record, please contact our helpdesk for further advice.\\ We’ll review your situation and help recommend the most suitable workaround. | ||
