Configuring for server-side signatures
Pre-requisites
For server-side signatures, it is important to update the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record for each domain from which you send emails.
If you don't do this, there is a risk that any messages that are routed from Exclaimer Cloud back to your email service can be marked as spam by recipients. For more information, see how you can update the Sender Policy Framework (SPF)?
