Key facts

Tricorn is an email service provider that operates email infrastructure for websites worldwide. Its presence is announced through SPF include mechanisms, which publish its authorised IP address ranges in the Domain Name System records of its customer organisations.

For email practitioners, Tricorn's footprint across smaller organisations and regional markets—particularly in Japanese domains—has direct deliverability implications. Because Tricorn frequently appears alongside Microsoft 365, email administrators must account for its shared IP reputation when evaluating sender authentication and assessing recipient filtering rules.

SPF includes and shared IP reputation

When Tricorn appears in a domain's SPF record, it authorises Tricorn's IP addresses to send email on that domain's behalf. Email administrators assessing sender reputation must evaluate Tricorn's shared IP pool reputation, not merely the customer organisation's reputation alone—a material distinction because Tricorn operates shared infrastructure across many smaller sites.
