If you use GoDaddy as your domain provider, here\u2019s how to set up your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. These records help authenticate your email and prevent unauthorized use, like email spoofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set the SPF record with GoDaddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An SPF (Sender Policy Framework) record is a type of TXT record that shows which servers are allowed to send emails on behalf of your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how to set it up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1<\/span>
Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Control Center.<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
2<\/span>
Select your domain to access the Domain Settings<\/strong> page.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
3<\/span>
Click on “Manage DNS”<\/strong> to open the zone file.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
4<\/span>
Select “Add”<\/strong> to create a new record.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
5<\/span>
Choose “TXT”<\/strong> from the type menu (SPF records are a type of TXT record).<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
6<\/span>
Enter the following details:<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Name<\/strong>: Use “@” for your root domain or add a prefix like “mail”.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Value<\/strong>: Your SPF rule. For example: v=spf1 mx -all<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • TTL<\/strong>: Set the time for which the server caches the information. The default is 1 hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    7<\/span>
    Click “Save”<\/strong> to apply the record.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    You can get your SPF record from your email provider or use an online SPF generator like [SPF Record Generator].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Set the DKIM record with GoDaddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) helps prevent email forgery by signing your emails, allowing the recipient\u2019s server to verify the sender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Follow these steps to publish your DKIM record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1<\/span>
    Log in to GoDaddy.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    2<\/span>
    Go to the “My Products”<\/strong> section and find your domain.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    3<\/span>
    Click “DNS”<\/strong> and then “Manage Zones.”<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    4<\/span>
    Click “Add”<\/strong> to create a new record.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    5<\/span>
    Choose “TXT”<\/strong> as the record type.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    6<\/span>
    Enter your DKIM details provided by your email service (like Google, Microsoft, or others).<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    7<\/span>
    Click “Save”<\/strong> to publish the record.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    To check if your DKIM record is published, you can use a free DKIM record checker. Note that DNS changes can take up to an hour to propagate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Set the DMARC record with GoDaddy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) helps protect your domain from email spoofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To add a DMARC record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1<\/span>
    Log in to GoDaddy and go to the “Domains”<\/strong> section.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    2<\/span>
    Select your domain and click “Manage Zones.”<\/strong><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    3<\/span>
    Click “Add”<\/strong> to create a new record (or edit an existing one if there’s already a record named “_dmarc”).<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    4<\/span>
    Choose “TXT”<\/strong> as the record type.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    5<\/span>
    For the “Host”<\/strong> field, enter _dmarc.<\/code><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
    6<\/span>
    In the “Value” <\/strong>field, insert the DMARC rule you generated using a DMARC generator.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • With email reporting: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:your-email@example.com; pct=90; sp=none<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Without email reporting: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=90; sp=none<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Replace the example email with your own. Once added, you can use a DMARC record checker to confirm the setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Remember, these settings are general for any domain setup and not specific to lemlist. If you need more help with DNS records, your domain provider can assist you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
