SPF Inclusion in Long-Tail Deployments

Carts Guru's footprint reflects a common pattern among smaller sites: inclusion in SPF records alongside Google Workspace. When multiple authorised senders are listed in an SPF policy, the combined reputation profile is distributed across both the organisation's domain and each included provider's infrastructure. This architecture is typical in smaller deployments but requires attention to SPF syntax, lookup limits, and the interaction between multiple sending paths to avoid authentication issues.
