Regional Links & Useful Data

Targeted Threat Protection (TTP)

For customer awareness and in case you have integrations parsing messages for Mimecast-rewritten URLs or decoding Mimecast-rewritten URLs. These integrations must know Mimecast's Targeted Threat Protection URL patterns. Relevant integration types include SOAR, XDR, and custom scripts using the Get Message Part or Decode URL API endpoints.

Outbound Delivery SPF Includes

To ensure a successful implementation of SPF with Mimecast, include a comprehensive list of our outbound IP addresses in your DNS SPF record. This is a long list (24 distinct IP4 ranges at the time of writing), and new ranges may be added without notice. You must administer this via your DNS provider.

To determine your region, refer to the table and also examples below:

Region Record
Australia v=spf1 include:spf.au-1.a.mimecastprotect.com
Canada v=spf1 include:spf.ca-1.a.mimecastprotect.com
Germany v=spf1 include:spf.de-1.a.mimecastprotect.com
United Kingdom v=spf1 include:spf.uk-1.a.mimecastprotect.com
United States of America v=spf1 include:spf.us-1.a.mimecastprotect.com

Hard / Soft Fail Examples

Case Type Description SPF Record
Simple Case Relaxed configuration for customers who only send external mail for a given domain via Mimecast. "v=spf1 include:spf.us-1.a.mimecastprotect.com ~all"
Strict Case We strongly recommend testing with the relaxed syntax for customers wishing to implement a strict SPF reject for unmatched requests. "v=spf1 include:spf.us-1.a.mimecastprotect.com –all"
