Access to Apps > Google Workspace > Settings for Gmail (Hosts, Routing, Compliance)

Server-side only

Required to add the send route, SMTP relay, and content compliance rule.


4. Email authentication (DNS) — server-side

Requirement

Notes

SPF updated for WiseStamp

Add include:outbound.smtp.wisestamp.net to your domain’s SPF TXT record. New record: v=spf1 include:outbound.smtp.wisestamp.net -all. Editing existing: insert the include before -all. TTL 1 hour.

DKIM alignment

When mail routes through WiseStamp server-side, your existing Google DKIM may fail. WiseStamp issues a unique DKIM record per account — request it from support and add it as a TXT record, then have support enable DKIM signing. Verify dkim=pass.

SPF lookup limit

SPF allows max 10 DNS lookups; flatten nested records if you hit "SPF not found." Use an SPF lookup tool to inspect.

Have DNS zone edit access ready before starting server-side setup.


5. Network / IP allowlist — server-side SMTP relay

For server-side, the SMTP relay step must accept mail returning from WiseStamp. Allow your own domain addresses and WiseStamp’s IP addresses:

34.121.227.57
34.121.44.217
34.172.57.131
35.225.9.191
34.132.46.63
35.184.115.114

The server-side send route uses host <your-routing-code>.gw.smtp.wisestamp.net on port 25.

this is the current, complete allowlist. Port/TLS requirements beyond port 25 as stated above were not further specified by WiseStamp.
