Do you need it?
Yes, if you send mail through Zoho Mail with your own domain. It is the include our Zoho Mail setup guide uses. Zoho's current documentation uses include:zohomail.com; accounts in the India or EU data centres use zohomail.in / zohomail.eu. The older include:zoho.com still resolves but is not what Zoho documents now. Using more Zoho apps that send mail? Zoho offers include:one.zoho.com.
Who uses it
In our scan of top websites on 23 Oct 2026:
- 7 of the 2,214 world's top-3,000 sites that publish SPF (0.3%)
- 11 of the 1,961 India's top-3,000 sites that publish SPF (0.6%)
- 0 of the 428 Indian government sites that publish SPF (0.0%)
Add it the right way
- Keep one SPF record per domain:
v=spf1 include:zohomail.com ~all, plus your other senders in the same record – SPF generator. - Stay under 10 lookups in total; every include counts, nested ones too.
- SPF alone isn't enough for Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook: turn on DKIM and publish DMARC.
Check your domain
After the fix, send a test email to see SPF, DKIM and DMARC pass on a real message, then keep an eye on it: free DMARC monitoring shows every service that sends mail as your domain and which ones fail, in plain English.
