Testing Deliverability Settings in Sandbox

Hi SF Dev Community,

We're looking to implement the deliverability settings in our org (DKIM, SPF, etc.).  

If we start by making these updates in Sandbox, as not to affect our live production environment and users' daily actvities (e.g. workflow email alerts, etc.), is testing this in sandbox a reliable way to see if our settings (in SFDC and on our server) are working properly (e.g. test activities that generate email notifications), or does this all need to be done in production?

I'm wondering if our sandbox domain and IP, being different from production, will yield different results, or if that's a non factor?

Thanks.
Nick

Hi Nick,

Greetings!

The domain will be same in the Sandbox and Production and I would suggest you to test the functionalities in sandbox first before making any changes to the live environments.

Please mark it as best answer if it helps you to fix the issue.

Thank you!
