How to verify SPF, DKIM and DMARC values?
Setting up DKIM and SPF is a two-step process.
Step1: How to Add a New Domain?
Go to “Settings” -> “Domains” -> Click “Add Domain”.
Enter the domain name you would like to send from.
Input an existing email address associated with the above entered domain name and click “Add”.
You will receive an email to verify your domain ownership.
After successfully adding your domain as a valid sending domain, you can now activate DKIM, SPF, and DMARC security measures to enhance protection. Refer to the tutorial for guidance on verifying your DKIM, SPF and DMARC values.
Step 2: DKIM, SPF & DMARC Setup
Go to “Settings” -> “Domains” -> Click the “Set up DNS records” button next to the domain you want.
Automatically generated DKIM, SPF and DMARC values are now displayed. As instructed, create TXT and CNAME entries inside your domain hosting provider.
Click the “Check SPF/DKIM Records” button when you finish adding the values into your DNS parameters with your domain host.
If all is well, you should see green ticks in all columns.
Some DNS records might take from 24 to 48 hours to be updated, so give it some time after the latest changes. If after 48 hours the record still shows as not verified, click “Recheck DNS records” button to update.
Please note:
- Every hosting provider is different, so if you are not sure of how to create these entries for DKIM and SPF, reach out to them with the details and they would be glad to help you out. You can also find a list of hosting providers’ instructions here.
- If your hosting service provider allows only one TXT record for SPF, please contact them for specific instructions on including the sender.net TXT record into the existing one.
