Namecheap Private Email email authentication
Namecheap’s bundled mailbox product, usually bought alongside a domain.
SPF record
Add Namecheap Private Email to your domain's SPF record with this include:
include:spf.privateemail.com
A complete record for a domain sending only through Namecheap Private Email:
v=spf1 include:spf.privateemail.com ~all
What it costs you
4 of your 10 DNS lookups. The include: itself costs one, and Namecheap Private Email's record chains to 3 more.
Behind it are 16 IP ranges.
Live record
This is what spf.privateemail.com published when this page was generated:
v=spf1 include:ips1.privateemail.com include:fbrelay.privateemail.com include:spf-pe.jellyfish.systems ~all
DKIM
Enable DKIM inside Namecheap Private Email 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 Namecheap Private Email 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.
