Cause

Business E-Mails are relayed from ByDesign (SAP Network) –> Cronus (Hosted in SAP Network) –> AWS (Hosted in Internet) –> Recipients

Resolution

  1. Business E-Mails will be enabled with SPF policy by default. Check SPF records in your own DNS or any throttling on user e-mail server based on IP address, whitelisting / Authentication based on e-mail headers like “Return-Path” / “Envelope-Sender” / “mailfrom” / “Bounce Address”.
  2. Business E-Mails are sent through IP range/address. Set IP and allow listing for receiving E-Mails in your Infrastructure.Refer KBA - 2570539 
  3. Always dsn@myXXXXXX.mail.sapbydesign.com or dsn@myXXXXXX.mail.sapbyd.cn. Example: SPF record for domain: myXXXXXX.mail.sapbydesign.com or myXXXXXX.mail.sapbyd.cn would look like: “v=spf1 include:_spf.cmail.ondemand.com include:amazonses.com ~all“
