Mandatory SPF and DKIM Authentication for Zoho Email Services

January 2025

As of January 1, 2025, Zoho now requires SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) authentication protocols to be implemented for all domains that send emails through its applications, including Zoho Desk, CRM, Campaigns, Analytics, and others.

Why This Is Urgent: SPF and DKIM are essential for keeping your email working properly and ensuring your emails get to people. If you don't set these up, there's a real risk that your emails might end up in junk folders or not reach your customers.
