Use dynamic email addresses (left hand side) with our verified domains

[RaulEr]

Hi, we have two domains set up in our DNS and are currently using 2-3 email addresses as our From address.

Can we use whatever names we want as long as we keep using the right domains?

So if our domain is company.co and currently use hello@company.co. Can we start using hey@company.co, sup@company.co, itspeter@company.co or whatever we want?

Thanks!

@RaulEr ,

yep - there is no problem there at all.  

Be mindful (a tiny bit - it's not a major consideration) of the name portion(e.g. itspeter).  If you were to use bigdiscounts@company.co or that kind of thing, it may cause some filters to look twice at you 🙂

Cheers

Jo

Dynamic email address combination with dynamic content to separate and target audiences are great way to target and personalise emails.
As long as your emails are verified go for it.
Like  @Jo_Pitts1 says dont 'blow' your domain trust with spammy names.

Thanks guys!

So I can use our reps names as well! That sounds good!

Thanks again!

While the above answers are correct, the reason they’re correct is that SPF is irrelevant for a standard shared Marketo instance. Your SPF record simply isn’t being used.

But if SPF were being looked up in practice, it’s quite possible for an SPF record to block the full email address user@example.com while allowing anotheruser@example.com. That’s what the SPF %{l} macro is designed to do! It’s not commonly used, but it would be wrong to say it isn’t possible.

So be careful about extrapolating from “user@example.com can send from 1.2.3.4” to “any address @example.com can send from 1.2.3.4”. It’s a matter of how you set up your SPF record.
