 * Hi,
 * I’ve been checking emails sent using glockapps and see that the SPF eval fails
   due to the return path not being the same as the domain.
    I tried to set up a
   bounce subdomain for this client (as a test) and the DNS record (as per your 
   documentation) but don’t see any way of setting the correct return path using
   your WordPress plugin.
 * I’ve had to remove the bounce subdomain as I wasn’t sure if it was hurting their
   emails.
    As an example, I had example.com for sending and bounce.example.com 
   as a bounce domain (not set as default; would this be default for all my domains?).
 * Can you help me configure it correctly?
    Thanks.
