Domain Set Up (DMARC, DKIM, SPF):

Now after you know how to acces DNS zone in your domain provider we will move to the next step which is setting up

• DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance): Helps prevent email spoofing and ensures that emails are authenticated against DKIM and SPF standards. (Your emails are more legitimate and correctly authenticated)
• SPF (Sender Policy Framework): Designed to prevent sender address forgery, SPF allows domain owners to specify which mail servers are permitted to send email on behalf of their domain. (which email servers a permitted to send emails on behalf of your domain, which helps prevent spammers from pretending to be you)
• DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail): Provides a way to validate a domain name identity that is associated with a message through cryptographic authentication. (Digita Signature that verifies your emails come from your domain)

You don’t really need to know why you need them, but they are so important.

DMARC:

1. Log in to domain provider
2. Got to DNS settings
3. Add TXT record

<aside> 💡

Name:  _dmarc Value: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]

</aside>

You should only have one DMARC record per domain. Having multiple DMARC records can lead to unpredictable behavior.

SPF:

1. Log in to domain provider
2. Got to DNS settings
3. Add TXT record

<aside> 💡

Name:  @ Value: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all

</aside>

Note that you should only have one SPF record per domain. Multiple SPF records can cause validation issues.
