Updated over 5 months ago
SPF(supported)
DKIM(recommended)

This article covers the SPF and DKIM authentication processes for Namecheap and how they are managed in Valimail. While only one of the two authentication methods is required for an email to pass DMARC, our recommendation is to configure both whenever possible.

1. Sign in to your Namecheap account.
