Sometimes in our day-to-day email usage, you will find an email that you send is delivered to the spam folder of your contact or recipient. In general, when we send an email from third party email services, it can possibly be delivered to the spam folder due to authorization problem. So to fix this problem and ensure that the campaign emails are sent to the “Inbox”, you have to update the SPF record for the domain to authorize the mail server.
