There are three steps which should be performed by your organisation's IT team to reliably receive Teamgage reminder/notification emails:
These steps may differ depending on which software, providers and network architecture is used by your organisation and will need to be interpreted as appropriate for your unique environment.
For reliable delivery of Teamgage notification emails, whitelisting needs to be applied beyond that of a casual sender, to ensure that emails are not delayed or incorrectly marked as spam. This is in part due to the frequency and volume of Teamgage notifications being sent to your organisation.
Teamgage sends reminder emails using SendGrid, configured with a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) on our own dedicated IP address. This IP needs to be whitelisted to bypass greylisting and repudiation checks, as these fluctuate based on the actions of third-parties and can be subject to false-positives and boycotts from time to time.
IP addresse: 168.245.19.244
Required step:
Teamgage notification emails originate from our company domain, along with other support and administrative correspondence.
Sender domain: teamgage.com
Return Path/Return Address domain: sg.teamgage.com
Required step:
Note: We recommend whitelisting both the Sender/From Address and Return Path/Return Address domains as some appliances filter on either or both of these fields.
Note: Teamgage has configured security features including SPF and DKIM for this sending domain. This means that your mail gateway is able to verify that emails with a From Address of @teamgage.com were in fact sent by Teamgage, and so the above sender-domain policy can be applied in a secure manner.
To improve employee engagement and provide a consistent brand experience, the email client for your users should be configured to always render images in emails sent by Teamgage. Some email clients such as Outlook also include a secondary spam filter, which needs to be configured correctly.
This can usually be achieved by adding @teamgage.com to your users’ Safe Senders List.
If this is not possible, then as a last resort you may consider adding noreply@teamgage.com to your company email address book/directory.
Please ensure that you test this configuration, and contact Teamgage support if you have any issues.
