At Zoho Marketing Automation, we strongly urge you to authenticate your domain by implementing SPF and DKIM.
To successfully authenticate your sender domain, you need to set up your SPF and DKIM TXT records. Authenticating your sender domain is a simple process that involves four easy steps.
Let's dive deep and learn more about setting up SPF and DKIM TXT records.
Only the organization's admin has the privilege to access domain authentication settings. You can contact your organization's admin and ask them to help you authenticate your sender domain.
Pasting the SPF and DKIM records in Ipage
To add the SPF record for your domain, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Ipage account and go the Domains tab in the dashboard.
2. In the Card View, click
Manage on the domain for which you are updating the SPF record.
3. In the list view, click the
Settings icon.
4. Click
DNS & Nameservers in the left pane.
5. CLick DNS Records in the DNS & NAMESERVERS page.
6. Click Add DNS Record to add a new SPF record.
7. Enter the following information:
- Name: Enter "@".
- TTL: Enter how long the server should take to cache the information.
- Type: TXT
- TXT Value: Paste the SPF TXT record displayed in the SPF/DKIM Setup screen.
Example: v=spf1 include:zcsend.net include:sender.zohobooks.com ~all
8. Click Add Record.
Note: A sender domain can have only one SPF TXT record. We recommend not to add a new record if you already have one. If you have an existing SPF TXT record,
- Select the domain you want to edit.
- Under Action, select Edit.
- To the existing record details, add "include:zcsend.net" after "v=spf1". (Example: v=spf1 include:zcsend.net include:spf.zylker.com ~all)
- Click ADD.
If you are using Zoho Marketing Automation from the regions below, add the respective TXT value instead of "include:zcsend.net".
- EU region - include:eu.zcsend.net
- India - include:zcsend.in
- China - include:zcsend.net.cn
To add the DKIM record for your domain, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Ipage account and go the Domains tab in the dashboard.
2. In the card view, click Manage on the domain for which you are updating the SPF record.
3. In the list view, click the Settings icon.
4. Click DNS & Nameservers in the left pane.
5. Click DNS Records on the DNS & NAMESERVERS page.
6. Click Add DNS Record to add a new SPF record.
7. Enter the following information:
- Name: Enter the DKIM host name displayed in the SPF/DKIM Setup screen. (Example: 2232._domainkey)
- TTL: Enter how long the server should take to cache the information.
- Type: TXT.
- TXT Value: Paste the DKIM TXT record displayed in the SPF/DKIM Setup screen of your Zoho Marketing Automation account.
8. Click Add Record.
Note:
- If your DNS has already mentioned the domain name, enter the domain key alone in the Host Name field.
- If your sub domain is mail.zylker.com, the domain key should be "2232._domainkey.mail"
