Docusign email authentication
Signature request mail sent from your domain.
This provider does not publish a shared SPF include for customers. It authenticates each account separately, using CNAME records that its own dashboard generates for your domain.
That is a deliberate design and a good one: the records are unique to you, they do not consume
any of your ten SPF lookups, and DKIM signing comes with them. Adding a guessed
include: for this provider would cost you a lookup and authenticate nothing.
DKIM
Enable DKIM inside Docusign and publish the selector record it generates. DKIM matters more than SPF for deliverability, because a DKIM signature survives forwarding while SPF does not — see how selectors work.
DMARC
Neither SPF nor DKIM protects the address your recipients actually see until DMARC ties them
to it. Once Docusign is authenticating, publish a DMARC record — start at
p=none with a reporting address and
tighten from there.
Check it worked
DNS changes take minutes to hours to propagate. Once published, run the domain through the checker — it resolves the full include chain and reports the real lookup count.
