Hi friend,
SPF in sunscreen protects your skin from dangerous burns. And an SPF record in your domain’s DNS settings can help protect your domain from email abuse. How does that work, you ask?
In our ultimate guide to SPF (the email one) we dive into how the framework works, share how it relates to other authentication standards like DKIM and DMARC, and explain what steps you can take to implement it for your domain. Read the guide so that next time you hear someone talk about SPF (☀️), you can give the conversation an unexpected turn.

P.S: If you’re sending with Postmark, your emails will automatically pass SPF, no DNS updates required. That’s handy, isn’t it?!

What’s new in Postmark?
Right before the holidays, we launched some cool new things you should check out:
As an API-first product, Postmark is designed to integrate seamlessly with your favorite tools and services—and our brand new integrations page makes it easier than ever to find Postmark integrations that fit your needs. Discover all integrations.
When you’re setting up a new Sender Signature—that’s the email address we’ll use as the FROM email when sending your messages—the owner of that email has to confirm that Postmark is allowed to send email using their address. You can now add a personal note to that confirmation email to provide additional context. Learn more.

It's not very often that people stick with a software tool for over 10 years. How long ago is 10 years? Google+ had just been launched. Netflix had just started online video streaming. Emojis had just been introduced on the iPhone. Well, you get the idea.
The point is, a decade is an incredibly long time, especially in the world of tech. So when we get to chat with customers who’ve been with us for so many years, that gives us a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings.
Justin Britten, founder and CEO of Prefinery, has been using Postmark since 2011. We asked what made him stick with us for over a decade. Here’s what he said.
