How to implement SPF and DKIM for your domains?

Emails landing in the Spam folder can occur for various reasons, often related to email content or mistakes made by the receiving email server. However, setting up SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is essential to ensure your emails are successfully delivered to recipient email servers. Gmail, for instance, may reject your emails or send them to the Junk folder if your domain lacks a valid SPF record. Additionally, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) plays a vital role in enhancing email deliverability. Follow these steps to configure SPF and DKIM for your domains:

Steps to Implement SPF and DKIM:

1. Set Up SPF for Your Domain:
   • Ensure your domain has an SPF record configured.
   • Include our SPF entry in your record as: include:dnsexit.com.
   • If your domain does not yet have an SPF record, create one with the value: v=spf1 include:dnsexit.com -all.


2. Set Up DKIM for Your Domain:
   • Add a CNAME record to your domain's DNS settings:
   • Name: relay._domainkey.{yourdomain.com}
   • Value: dkim.dnsexit.com
   • Replace {yourdomain.com} with your actual domain name.

Final Verification:

1. Log in to your account on DNS Exit.
2. At Dashboard, navigate to the Sender Domains section under the Mail Relay menu.
3. Add your domain to the Sender Domains list.
4. Verify both SPF and DKIM records.

After successful verification, DKIM signatures will be automatically added to all emails sent through our service, ensuring improved deliverability and compliance with modern email standards.
